I ordered this sweater specifically because the product description said it was soft acrylic fabric, not cotton. I already had purchased from another outlet a cotton version of this which shrunk horribly when washed. When I opened the package, YIKES - its 100% cotton...and it will shrink. Too bad that my husband loved it and wore it already. I'm dreading washing it because I know what's gonna happen. Amazon - double-check the fabric PLEASE!
