Nice soft knit. I got the Holly Red and it is a vibrant color. 5"4" 130# and it hits just below my knees. Pockets are deep and sturdy enough for my big phone. If someone would just give me this sweater with buttons I would buy it in every color. Why are all sweaters "open" now? Anyway, I will probably pick up a few more in different colors. They are a little thick for summer time, but perfect for the other three seasons in Michigan, and will be nice in my air conditioned office all summer too.
