This is from a group imported from Italy at a great price! It's a soft purple (Pantone 18-3812) knit, slightly lighter weight than an 11 oz jersey but with a similar texture. Soft and drapey, not sheer (well, maybe for a skirt you would want to line it), perfect for any number of knit tops, twin sets, drapey cardigans, etc. If you wish to wash at home, please test first.
