This is from a group imported from Italy at a great price! It's a plain black knit, about the weight of 11 oz jersey but with a more sweatery hand. Soft and drapey, not sheer (well, maybe for a skirt would want to line it), perfect for any number of knit tops, twin sets, drapey cardigans, and any drapey knit bottoms as well. If you wish to wash at home, please test first.
