The sharpest cable definition here

Cotton

What it gives you: Machine washable, no felting, no moths
What it costs you: Barely warmer than a shirt

Compare it against the other yarns

Put this next to the lambswool cable and the difference is not subtle: cotton has no fibre halo, so every crossing reads as a hard edge.

The cost of that clarity is weight. Cotton cables are heavy for how warm they are.

No animal fibre in this piece

Three of the four wool problems do not apply here.

Pilling
It still abrades. We grade this yarn 4 on the same test — Martindale abrasion, 2,000 rubs, assessed to ISO 12945-2. Cotton flattens and goes limp at the cuffs rather than balling up.
Itch
No animal fibre, so no micron value and nothing to prickle.
Felting
Plant fibre does not felt. Machine wash at 40 °C without worrying about it.
Moths
Clothes moths eat protein fibre. They have no interest in this.

Care

The conditions, not the icons.

Machine wash 40 °C, dry flat. Do not hang while wet.

washing it hotter than this is not covered — and here is exactly why

Who pays when a sweater is felted

Maximum wash temperature: 40 °CAbove this the fibre felts, and felting is permanent.
Machine wool cycle: Not allowedWash it by hand in still water instead.
Drying: Dry flatHanging a wet shaped knit stretches the body and the shoulders.
Tumble dryer: NeverHeat plus tumbling is the fastest way to felt a wool garment.
Iron: 150 °C maximumPress and lift. Sliding an iron across knitting flattens the stitch.

Care symbols: wool cycle at 30 degrees, do not tumble dry, dry flat, iron at 110 degrees maximum
