I have had mine for almost 20 years now and it shows only the slightest wear in form of a few tiny fuzzballs. Keeps me warm even when temps hit zero but is not too warm when temps are around freezing. Best sweater ever!
I've had mine (grey/red) for well ovoer 20 years, and it has only the slightest signs of wear! it's on my top ten of favorite things to wear with jeans. it has stood the test of time. well worth the money..
The Norwegian sweater is great for cold weather. When I first tried it on, the weight difference was immediately noticeable. It feels substantial, and is excellent for hanging around the house on cold days and as an outer layer over the turtleneck for working outside. Someone with relatively short arms may need to roll up the cuffs. Otherwise, it seemed perfect for keeping warm in cold weather. Since purchase, I have worn it 2-3 days a week.
