1. How do I know if the one-size sweater will fit?>

Relevant dimensions are included in the detailed description for each sweater. Dimensions include: the width across the chest from seam to seam; the length of the sleeve measured from the underarm seam; and the length of the sweater measured from the shoulder seam. We also include a Sizing Chart with additional information. Since these sweaters are all hand made, no two are identical and the sweater you receive may vary slightly in its dimensions. For example, a sweater described as measuring about 25 inches across the chest may actually measure from 24-1/2 to 26 inches across the chest. Such variations are commonly found in hand knit sweaters.

3. How much do you charge for shipping and handling?>

We ship via the United States Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail and we charge you only what USPS charges us. WE MAKE NO PROFIT ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING. We believe that the USPS offers the most cost- and time-efficient service currently available: 2-3 business days for the continental U.S. at the lowest price currently available for similar delivery times. We will continue to monitor new shipping options to make sure that we always provide you with the most cost and time efficient shipping method available.
