Lofty Baby Alpaca Chunky Crew Cardigan
Our Lofty Baby Alpaca Chunky Crew Cardigan is the cozy-season essential you'll keep reaching for year after year. Crafted from a lofty baby alpaca blend with satisfying heft and a cloud-like softness, it's warm enough for your coldest days without the scratchiness of traditional wool. A relaxed, boxy fit and ribbed trim at the cuffs and neck give it an effortlessly lived-in feel, while contrasting horn buttons add a charming, considered finish. The kind of cardigan that gets better with every wear.
DETAILS
- Crafted from 70% baby alpaca, 23% nylon, and 7% merino wool
- 3 gauge
- Premium baby alpaca fiber sourced from Peru, one of the world's most renowned regions for alpaca — an exceptionally fine fiber (18.7–22 microns & 86–89mm in length) prized for its luxurious softness, warmth, and breathable comfort
- Baby Alpaca refers to the fineness (diameter) of the fiber, not the age of the animal. Fibers meeting this exceptionally fine standard may come from young or adult alpacas, resulting in a softer, smoother feel than standard alpaca.
- Alpaca fibers may shed and pill with initial wear, this is natural and will settle over time.
- Fisherman stitch throughout
- Raglan sleeve construction
- Functional faux horn buttons
- Fitted sleeve cuffs for a subtle blouson effect
- Produced in BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certified factories which aim to improve working conditions throughout the supply chain
- Made with care in China from Peruvian-sourced alpaca fiber
