I gave this sweater to my sister for her birthday and she loves it. It is a beautiful soft gray. My sister says it is light weight and warm. It should be perfect for early fall in Maine. It has a delicate pattern which makes it versatile as causal wear up to dining out.
Very nice sweater. Size is accurate. Color is uniform. Right out of the box, the quality was evident — the wool is thick, soft (not scratchy like some cheaper options), and has a nice weight that makes it feel substantial without being bulky.
I have several alpaca sweaters I've purchased on the Novica site. All have been unique, well made and exceptionally beautiful! It is difficult to go shopping for this kind of item when the "best" can be ordered right at home from some of the best knitters imaginable!
