This is the second Charisma sweater I have purchased only because a kitten put some pulls in my first one. I fixed the pulls, but I decided a back up in perfect condition was in order. I love this sweater and I always receive many compliments on it. When I purchased the first one, I was a little disappointed that it was only %50 alpaca, but not any more! The nylon helps it to keep its shape and I actually wash it in the with all the other dark clothes and it comes out looking brand new. I also just purchased it in a wheat color. They are perfect for layering especially in offices with fluctuating temperatures.
