A piece to keep forever
I am a spinner, weaver and knitter and am very familiar with alpaca fiber. This sweater is a gorgeous piece - meticulously well-made and I know it will last a lifetime. It is worth more than the asking price. And as baby alpaca fiber (before the first shearing), it has a loft and softness that feels wonderful next to my skin. I am pleased with my purchase.
How beautiful!
I ordered this sweater in hopes it fit well and that it would go with my jean's and a few other slacks. The sweater fits perfectly, buttoned and open, looks great with my wardrobe, and is absolutely soft and cuddly. The middle horizontal band falls correctly at my wasteline and the sleeves were just the right length. One other admirable quality is that when on, the patterns and bands line up really well so I won't constantly be adjusting it. The mini-scallop detail at the hem is sweet. I didn't even notice it in the photo. The overall color is a deep blue, but in certain light, it can look a bit purple. I assure you it is blue. I love this sweater and highly recommend it for those who wear a size small, especially. That's my true size (4). The fabric s a little stretchy. I can't wait to wear it for friends see. In fact, I like it so much, I sat down before writing this review and ordered another in a different color. Congratulations to the artist for getting everything just right.
