Nice, lightweight sweater.  Definitely need to layer for warmth, too thin by itself for other than cool weather.  Quality is fine (not sure it's two ply as described)- made in China though - if it that had been noted in the description I wouldn't have purchased it - trying to keep purchases from China made items to a minimum - let's get our own economy back on track...buy American made goods!

Color, black, is good - deep, rich black. It's soft, but not as soft as more expensive, heavier cashmeres. All-in-all not a bad sweater for ~40.00.  Happy with purchase, other than the China factor.
