Such a pretty sweater! this is a nice heavy knit, very warm a little too warm for California but I will be patiently waiting until its cold enough... Has kind of a fuzzy chenille type texture. very understated and elegant- the gold sequin accents are very tastefully done and it will be an excellent go-to sweater for the holidays as the color and design make it so it can be paired with nearly any color or texture you could think of.
