    History: I have inherited over 200 exquisite hand-made sweaters made by my mom. My mom Laura has since passed away and it is difficult to part with these sweaters, let alone put a price on them. My mom used the best yarns she could find and was a meticulous knitter. She also purchased the finest buttons or made them herself to match the sweaters. I am not as skilled as she is so I am unsure as to the exact yarns she used for each sweater. I have posted a large and close-up shot of each sweater to hopefully give you an idea of the quality and type of yarn she used. Most of the sweaters are my mom’s unique designs. They were made anywhere from the 1940's to the 1980's so you will see a variety of styles and sizes. Some sweaters are slightly worn. They are one-of-a-kind sweaters ......................never to be found anywhere else
