Review about: The Irish Store
Two Irish sweater dresses
The sweater dresses were advertised as being made of "super soft merino" yarn. "Super Soft" merino yarn is well-known for its non-itchy, luxuriously soft feel compared to other merino wool yarn. I have purchased many Super Soft merino wool garments made by Aran Woollen Mills (and other Irish garment manufacturers). However, the Irish Store sweater dresses are neither non-itchy, nor otherwise soft (but the knitting appears to be fairly good; hence, the two stars). It is not lost on me that their ad listing does not capitalize the first "S" on "super" or "soft" merino yarn - perhaps hoping for an interpretation of their subjective opinion of softness - bad marketing decision...
