This is an elegant sweater that can be dressed up, or down with jeans. I've worn it once to a wedding. The fabric content is 70% alpaca, 15% wool, and 15% Pima cotton. It does give warmth, but not enough for where I live in the northeast because of its crocheted construction. It's best in Fall or Spring, unless you have warmer winters. It looks great with tank tops, or long sleeved blouses. It has a V shaped neckline. It's a size L, but fitted to fit a size M. It's about 22 inches long, with 24 inch length sleeves. Basically, it's a "one of a kind" sweater.
