What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise this cardigan for its exceptional softness, lightweight warmth, and versatile style. Reviewers consistently highlight the merino wool as soft, breathable, and non-itchy, with fabric that resists pilling and maintains shape through frequent washing. Many appreciate the flattering drape, true-to-size fit, and ability to transition seamlessly from casual to dressy occasions. Several customers call it a reliable wardrobe essential and plan to repurchase in additional colors. A few note small buttonholes are difficult to fasten, and some wish for broader color options, though most consider it a worthwhile investment.

Cardigan sweater
I have not bought one of these sweaters. They look lovely, but I don't understand why none of your cardigans have pockets. That's the first thing a lot of us girls look for. I was

Too soon to tell
It appears to be well made and I like the fabric so rating it a 4. However given that our local temperatures are in the 90's, I don't plan to wear this item until the fall.

It is soft and durable and I told my family I will have it so long that they will probably be able to bury me in it. Lol

Good addition to your wardrobe.
I bought the black cardigan and it is perfect. It flows nicely and buttons with ease. I would buy it in different colors if available.

Not an ordinary cardigan.

Classic style, well made, and comfortable. Dressier than most cardigans. I wouldn't call the gray a light gray though; it's more of a medium gray.
