Absolute lies on the ball band and the yarn page - machine washed it 30 degree 25 min. cycle, was almost felted; tumble dried on wool cycle and it shrank

• emailed Knitpicks, got a lovely response and offer of a refund; had no receipt/order ref as a friend in the USA did it for me. When ‘’Barb’’ realized it was 13 years old, the tone completely changed LOL I think she thought the sweater was 13 years old - it wasn’t, I made it this summer with yarn that was 13 years old - but wow missed a great opportunity for excellent customer service.

didn’t like the pattern for the neckline - on many photos, it looks too wide, gappy/space on the shoulders

so
