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!
This sweater is both light and very warm. It also looks great. Indeed I am wearing it so much I fear I'll wear it out. If you wear it over a lighter sweater it keeps you comfortable for long car rides in freezing weather. Next year I hope I can find the same sweater in a different color.
I purchased this as gift for my wife for Christmas. She was so surprised and mentioned several times how much she loved the quality of the material and design.
