While this sweater is soft, this is without a doubt the poorest quality piece of clothing I've purchased in a long time. It comes with a tag that says "due to the nature of this yarn, it will shed - treat me like you do your dog." This warning feels like a scapegoat to put the blame on you for the designer's poor choice of material. After wearing it for 20 minutes, the sweater started pilling - I've had it for 2 weeks and the pilling is out of control. You have to be so delicate with it because the yarn pulls so easily. I really regret this purchase and would love to return it, but it was final sale.
