Actually, my first thought was, where did your sister find the paper bag? I only seem to see a few of those each year. But ha! that's one for the crafters who, imo, are just another flavor of hacker. Materials: light wool, merino is good, I'm allergic to the fluffy stuff that comes from rabbits and goats and such, heavier cotton is also good. I like things that are machine washable, and then I air dry them. That does kind of leave paper bags out, I think, though the miracles of modern materials constantly leaves me agog. Size: I usually get something with a 40 chest, since that is just a size or so larger but I don't swim in it. I have a nifty polar fleece hoodie I got from Salem but that's just a little too warm for indoors unless I am having a fibro day, in which case it is lovely.
