This sweater is both light and very warm. It also looks great. Indeed I am wearing it so much I fear I'll wear it out. If you wear it over a lighter sweater it keeps you comfortable for long car rides in freezing weather. Next year I hope I can find the same sweater in a different color.
It was a gift and loved by the person gifted to. The wool quality was good but it will need something to be worn inside otherwise it can be very itchy. The knitting is exquisite.
