[quote=Anonymous]As a knitter, I can tell you that the yarn for this sweater is at least $150 and probably more - the stitch looks really dense. Yak is an amazing fiber. It's not full-fashioned, it's steeked - basically, they knit a slightly shaped baby blanket, cut armholes and sew in separately knitted arms. The knitting itself looks routine but time-consuming, but steeking and getting everything to match up smoothly is not for the faint of heart. There are many similar sweaters on the market and I'm sure you could find something similar for less. I have a charcoal wool version in a different stitch that was $70 on sale. But I don't think it's a ripoff, either. [/quote]
