Burgundy cotton rollneck and variegated rollneck

Instead of the disastrous ribbed version I decided to make up some cotton knit fabric into a burgundy roll neck top.
This fabric is smooth and seems to have 2 right sides, it was relatively hard to pin into and looks like it will be very hardwearing. I don't know what the fabric would be called.
I've been wearing this today with the purple leggings (and a big purchased cardigan) and its warm and comfortable.

Using exactly the same pattern pieces I also made the same top in a variegated lightweight knit. This shed all over me and needed a lot of cleaning up with a lint roller, hopefully since all the edges are overlocked or coverhemmed it'll be ok in wear.
It is a bit hard to see but the top is variegated ivory, brown and various shades of berry.

Both look lovely. Pity that one of them shed everywhere though. Having just had something shed all over my washing in the machine and make a massive fluffy mess, can I suggest a hand wash first time out just to ensure it doesn't leave evidence of itself all over EVERY item you own.
