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!
This is absolutely kitten-soft ! I will wear it for years to come, I hope ! If not ,I would expect it to be handed down to loving relatives. It is that special!!
