I was hesitant to buy due to some saying they were scratchy.  A little, but not so much that I wouldn't wear them.  I suppose some have more sensitive skin.  I've worn wool sweaters that were MUCH worse.  They are definatly long enough, stretchy just like I wanted.  The color in the picture is much "pinker" than the actual color.  The actual color is much more eggplant purple, but that's fine with me.  With my experience (as a long-time crafter) that acrylic gets softer the more you wash it, so I expect these will too.  Two thumbs up!!
