I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and am very familiar with alpaca fiber. This sweater is a gorgeous piece - meticulously well-made and I know it will last a lifetime. It is worth more than the asking price. And as baby alpaca fiber (before the first shearing), it has a loft and softness that feels wonderful next to my skin. I am pleased with my purchase.

I love this sweater. It works well with jeans, with dress slacks, or with a skirt. The colors incorporated in the sweater provide many options for pairing with a variety of colors. Its warm, lightweight, and very comfortable. I ordered a large because that was recommended on the size chart. I wear a size 12 or Medium in blouses and sweaters, and when the Large came, it fit, but a little too close to the body for my taste. I returned the Large and ordered an extraLarge, which fits the way I prefer to wear my sweaters. The exchange was quick and easy.

This is a very fine coat. It is so nice, it even looks great hanging on the hanger! It was a bit wrinkled when it arrived as it was folded into a tiny little bundle.. but it was not nearly as wrinkled as I thought it might be and the wrinkles fell out immediately after hanging. Its so warm and is just as attractive (I think its more so!) as the cashmere overcoat I bought my husband years ago when we were working. With jeans or a dress, its perfect.. and well, alpaca is so wonderfully warm for all that its as light as a feather! I love it!
