Arms of Andes is so itchy
After reading so much about all the superwashing and plasticizing that merino wool undergoes, I thought I'd go the alpaca route. I ordered several sweaters from Arms of Andes (which, btw, are all shipping separately even though I ordered them at the same time from their own website - that's horrible for the environment, good job folks). When I received the first sweater yesterday, I immediately tried it on - and it's like a thousand tiny needles stabbing me simultaneously. 😭 It's. So. Damn. Itchy!!!
Are there other brands that people could recommend that aren't superwashed or plastic fabrics that aren't itchy? I'm so disappointed and sad right now. 😞
