“alpaca cardigan”

the sweater is great. I had several people at work say they loved it. The only problem is when i took if off a button from my shirt pulled out 18 inches of yarn from the sleeve. not sure how i will repair but will need to.

“Beautifully crafted sweater!”

My son was impressed as soon as we presented him with the gift box. He was wowed by the sweater! The styling of pattern and colors is exceptional, right down to the buttons! This is a quality sweater that you wont find from retail outlets. We are most satisfied with the purchase.

“Great Product!”

After reading a review from Terri below from 2022, she purchased an XXL to allow room when wearing a light shirt. She was right. I normally wear XL items but I ended up ordering an XXL. It fits just right and nicely drapes just above my hips. The sweater is very light but Im sure will keep me toasty when layering. The colors are vivid so I will make sure to hand wash in cold water. This is a lovely product!
