[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Sweater question

[Ramona W]

It depends on what you like and your yarn.  Style is that sweaters are 
more fitted than a decade ago.  Acrylic yarn will stretch if ou do not 
wash and dry on warm or even hot.  Of course, wool will shrink if not 
washed in cold water and dried on a towel or on ;air fluff.  You 
probably know all that.  If you plan to wear a shirt under the sweater, 
which I often do, it affects the way the armholes fit.

Best,

Ramona
