"A go to favorite sweater"
Several years ago I purchases this same sweater in the pink colors. I wear it often and get lots of compliments. It has held up very well with gentle, cool water machine washing and drying on a hanger. I love it so much I just purchased a new one in the turquoise colors. Wore it skiing today and again got lots of compliments. It is thin enough to layer well but also warm enough to wear alone. I purchased a size large. I am 5?7 and 140# with fairly broad shoulders and longer arms. Fits perfect. Beautifully made sweater!
