Aside from softness of cashmere, this is seriously the softestbulkier sweater I've ever worn. It wraps me up like a warm blanket, but without the bulky, heavy feel of many sweaters. I especially love sweaters like this that can cover for your booty. I got the large and it's plenty roomy (5'5”, 167 lbs). Not usually a fan of anything around my neck, especially high necks. But, this sweater is easily adjustable and doesn't make me feel like I'm being choked by it. Also, the neck provides added warmth from wind and cold. Easy laundering in cold water, and a great sweater all-around. No scratchy fabric or itchy skin. Just cuddly soft. This is definitely one of my favorite sweater buys.
