The listing

I got this sweater in the 70s from near Nanaimo, Canada I haven't worn it, and it's time to let it go. Very nicely made, thick and cozy. Small to medium ladies size. Cowichan sweaters are knit from natural, hand spun, undyed sheep’s wool. This strong and stretchy yarn makes a sweater that keeps its shape. The high lanolin content of the wool makes a water repellant, stain resistant sweater that keeps its wearer warm and dry, absorbs body moisture, and ventilates body heat. These sweaters, if taken care of should last for decades. They are passed down from generation to generation. Coast Salish women have created an industry Very nice and well kept $60 obo Cash and local only Can meet in Hawks prairie area. Lacey area, north of Olympia Washington
