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.
I love the cardigan and the color combination. I first got the jumper and also loved it, so I also got the cardigan. Perfect also for colder summer nights.
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!
