So I contacted Nordstrom Rack customer service and they confirmed that it was indeed 100% acrylic and the info on the web site was incorrect. They said they were going to correct the error on the site, but I just checked again and saw that the fabric content still has not been updated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206646 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 14:33:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1206646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer!&nbsp; I despise acrylic.&nbsp; Why does it exist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206618 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 13:59:31 +0000 Em 1206618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's unfortunate, Kelly, because the sweater IS very cute and it certainly looks like cotton on the picture.</p> <p>I didn't realize at first it was ordered from Nordstrom. I have respect for them as they list a lot of details, unlike many other sites. That's why I don't think they were being deliberately deceiving. Most likely the data-entry person just made a mistake. It'd be interesting to see if they fix it after you brought up the issue, though.</p> <p>That's why I'm not a fan of online shopping for such things... It's like buying a pig in a bag... As if fit and color are not big enough variables... I would've&nbsp;never expected this sort of a problem. Some time ago I ordered a pair of boots from Zappos. The color looked like rich and pretty cognac/whiskey on the pictures. What I received was the ugliest, blah, muddy beige I've ever seen! Mind you, they had good reviews, too... Otherwise the boots were very good in many ways, but the color ruined it all for me. Then I watched the video again. I don't know if this is always the case, but in this case the color in the video was closer to the actual color. I guess I got too excited looking at the pics and didn't pay enough attention to the video. Of course, many times the shoes come in various colors and the videos show only one... It's so frustrating because the local selection here becomes more and more limited by the day and I have to resort to ordering stuff, but I don't like to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206212 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 00:52:07 +0000 Sarah A 1206212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab knitting project idea. Acrylic! Why? Why? Why? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206153 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 23:52:13 +0000 Sara L. 1206153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun sweater! &nbsp;Too bad it's acrylic and not cotton like like you thought it would be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206147 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 23:42:19 +0000 kellygirl 1206147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks and feels like acrylic. The one on the website looked like cotton to me. The knitted fabric is lofty and little bit fuzzy. The garment is labeled correctly--the Nordstrom website lists it incorrectly. Glad I tried it though because the shape is great. I will just have to knit my own now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206014 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 20:30:04 +0000 Em 1206014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How deceiving! And how ironic, considering the sweater comes from a place called COTTON Emporium!</p> <p>Well, I can't imagine anybody who can't tell the difference between 100% cotton and 100% acrylic... What do you think it's made of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-emporium-sweater#post-1206009 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 20:20:41 +0000 kellygirl 1206009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>from Angie's picks came today. Just posting this as an FYI--the L fits me well but the label reads "100% acrylic" not 100% cotton per the website. I called CS and they think the product info is wrong and&nbsp;that I received the correct sweater. Anyone else get the cotton version?&nbsp; </p>
