I love the softness, warmth, design, color and fit of this. I used to knit a lot, and can confirm that this is high-quality work. My favorite sweater. I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs and the medium was a perfect relaxed fit which is what I prefer..
Alpaca is so soft and warm, and the intricate pattern woven into this sophisticated shawl dress it up. The workmanship is excellent and the colors work well for work too evening.
