You can always rely on its warm embrace that comes in many different shapes and colours and already this is enough to make me love it. Moreover, I have wonderful memories when it comes to the word sweater. When I was a baby and also a little girl my mum would make the most amazing sweaters for me. Colourful ones with fabric inserts or wooden buttons, and you know what the best thing was? I was the only one who had them and I felt so special. It didn\u2019t matter where I was, when I wore them, it was as if my mum was taking care of me, even away from home.<\/span><\/p><br><br><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giornata-mondialedel-maglione-sweater-day.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giornata-mondiale-delmaglione-sweater-day.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Sweater Day<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> started out in Canada for a very specific cause and was assigned the worthy task of getting people to think and talk about energy consumption.
