"One of my favorites, always get compliment"
High quality workmanship, unique design and medium weight - not too thin and not too thick. Striking color scheme, even more attractive in person. Will never find this design in a department store. One of a kind.
Best Uses
- Weekend wear in winter

"Beautiful and comfortable."
Beautiful design and colors. Very comfortable. Must be careful not to snag the reverse of the design and pull the threads. Use a crochet needle to pull threads back through.

"just OK"
Just OK, I was hoping for much bulky sweater this is very thin. Also this is not hand made but machine made ....The design is nice and the sweater is much prettier in the catalog. Still ... deciding possible return.
