My hands are always cold and I love these warm alpaca gloves. The lush grey color is beautiful, too and goes with all of my outerwear. You can't go wrong with alpaca wool.
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.
