My go-to now for farmers market mornings—the yarn breathes but still blocks the early chill, the cuffs stay snug without squeezing, and it survived a coffee spill that wiped right off with a damp cloth Felt cared for from click-to-delivery and honestly? Made me smile every time I pulled it on Very happy with my purchases
Mari********ltz
Wore it to my first in-person poetry reading in two years and felt both grounded and radiant The weight is perfect—not too heavy for indoor lights, not too light to feel insubstantial And that subtle sheen? Catches the stage light just so Very happy with my purchases

Perfect for layering over turtlenecks in winter or wearing solo in fall the texture catches light so nicely and makes even basic outfits feel intentional shipping was faster than expected and the return label for my backup size was already printed in the box

Nice fabric and clean lines but ran slightly large—I usually wear medium and sized down to small which fit just right Would’ve loved a size chart with actual measurements instead of ‘relaxed fit’ notes Otherwise the drape is dreamy and shipping was smooth

Wore it hiking at Point Reyes last weekend and stayed warm without sweating the merino blend breathes like magic and the sleeves hit exactly at my wrist no pulling no bunching the package arrived with zero damage and handwritten thank you made my day
Ms. N***********r Jr.
Beautiful stitch work and feels luxurious but ran slightly small I ordered my usual size and had to exchange for the next up the color is even prettier in person and the box it came in was reusable which I appreciated

This sweater made me feel put-together on a chaotic Monday—I had back-to-back Zooms, walked the dog in drizzle, then met friends for soup It didn’t pill, didn’t fade, and the neckline didn’t gape even after adjusting my headset ten times Soft, smart, and surprisingly versatile Very happy with my purchases
Mrs. ***********inger
Threw this on before rushing to my daughter's school play and instantly felt calm the weight is perfect not too heavy not too thin and the neckline doesn't gape when I laugh which has been a problem with every other sweater I own customer service answered my sizing question in under an hour

Grabbed this before a weekend cabin trip and wow—it packed down small, stayed wrinkle-free in my duffel, and kept me cozy by the fire without overheating The texture has such lovely depth in person and the ribbing at the hem stays put no pulling up while I’m reaching for firewood or pouring coffee Very happy with my purchases

Love the drape and subtle cable detail makes me feel put-together even on chaotic work-from-home days fabric is cozy but breathable so no overheating during Zoom calls delivery was smooth and tracking updated clearly
