I wasn’t expecting the yarn to be so thin but it turned out great. I did add a few decreasing rows around the neck but other than that the pattern was easy to read and I am happy with the result.

I am enjoying the experience of knitting with this yarn. It is turning out to be a beautiful sweater. The yarn arrived in approximately 4 weeks which seemed a little long, but I understand it was shipped from Iceland to Wisconsin, USA, so I did expect it would take longer than yarn I order in the USA. The cost of your yarn is extremely reasonable, but the cost of shipping is quite staggering. If the yarn wasn't so beautiful, I don't know if I'd order it again because of the shipping costs.
