Beautiful handwork and warm
My Mom was a knitter so I have have seen many examples of fine work. This is a very high quality.
The various stitches used are beautiful and well done. And no loose dangly ends that have not been tied off inside. Even the inside of the sweater has had attention to detail. The buttons are also a nice quality. I don?t feel this sweater was rushed and mass produced when I look at and wear it.
The fiber is also high quality. I often itch with cheaper wools. I still wear a thin silk undershirt under this sweater, but the parts which do touch my skin do not itch at all. It is also very warm, which is why I chose it. I am tired of the flimsy sweaters in stores which do not keep me warm.
I love the oatmeal color, it goes with everything.
My one regret is that it did not come in an XS. Or, I wish it was just a bit more narrow. I am a small woman and I do like that I can layer with it, but wish it was a little more narrow. It is still one of my favorite sweaters for a cold winter day.
