When I ordered this sweater, I thought maybe it was a product of fast fashion, you know, that cheap clothing trend where it looks like the garment was sewn in the back room and only made to wear once? Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find that although the sweater is lightweight, it's not paper thin and it washes up beautifully (I wash it on delicate and air dry it then freshen it up in the dryer the next day).
