I too had this happen. I hand knitted an Irish sweater with oiled wool I has shipped from Ireland.I mailed it to my son in the military and they sent it to someone else. He never got it. I finally tracked it down and the guy said I thought it was from my aunt so I used it. I will send it back to you. Ha. He went to WALMART and sent me a cheap cotton one, like I wouldn't know the difference. My son never even got to see it. Oh well. That's life.
