10 Stars and then some!

Product picture

This sweater is so much more beautiful and well crafted than I expected or even hoped for. Each row of color is not flat--but blended to form a rich and varied palette that is just gorgeous. It is extremely well made and sturdy and a lovely weight. My husband was blown away by this present. It came in sweet gift wrap with a hand-made little Andean figure on the bow. I usually check what I order by mail before giving, but did not wish to spoil the wrapping which was a very nice touch. When the gift was opened on Xmas morning, it was the star of the show! What a wonderful sweater and the best company to order from--at such a reasonable and affordable price. Thank you for making our planet a better place for talented artisans and appreciative customers, who wish to support conscious businesses.

Lovely earrings

They are an awesome pair of earrings. The detail and hand painting is enchanting. Definitely worth getting a pair.

Very well made in Ireland; a classic!

This is a classic sweater in the button up cardigan style, made in Ireland by Carraig Donn, a highly regarded maker of Aran sweaters and other wool garments. It's highly versatile: It can be worn with a dress shirt and tie in all but formal business environments, yet it looks equally good with a black T-shirt and jeans. The sweater is 100% wool. As such, it has the best properties of wool, such as warmth and moisture-wicking. I find it ideal for use in the 35-55 degree Farenheit range, with no jacket on top of the sweater. (For lower temperatures, a jacket over it would work fine). Note that it does not have any man-made fibers such as acrylic or nylon; some makers make their sweaters with 10-20% of these fibers to lower costs, but they also can have the advantage of adding strength or helping a sweater keep its form. Bottom line: Very high quality, made with nothing but pure new wool -- but you do have to treat it nicely (dry cleaning is best, as is keeping it folded and away from moths!) The only (minor) negatives about this item are: Because it's 100% new wool, it is a bit itchy against exposed skin - but not a problem at all so long as you wear long sleeves underneath. Also, the buttoms are resin. Hardwood would make it a real classic, but also much more expensive and the resin buttons are almost indistinguishable from hardwood unless you examine them closely. All in all, a very nice item that you won't easily find unless you travel to Ireland. It's worth the price, as it will probably last 10 or 15 years if you take care of it.
