“Favorite sweater in my closet!”

The alpaca softness, colors and stitching of this sweater have made this my absolute favorite -- and I have A LOT of sweaters! I wore it recently on a trip and got so many compliments. The picture just does not do it justice!

“I love this cardigan!”

This is a wonderful cardi! It is so warm, but not too excessively thick. The colors are beautiful; they compliment wonderfully my facial features. I wear it a lot over my formal or casual blouses.

“Wonderful Knitwear”

Vibrant colours and works well over a long dress. I wear this often and loved the colours and warmth. I have had this for a few months and it is wearing well.
