*AW23 colourway in 2ply yarn making the jacquard pattern smaller, finer and more detailed* 

Women’s vintage style cardigan in textured knit pattern inspired by a classic Vintage Shetland FairIsle stranded colourwork sweater and made from 100% organic baby alpaca. Designed by UMIFORM, our own Woollykins Women's label and ethically made in Peru in collaboration with My Alpaca Copenhagen.

The AW23 version features new colours and is knit in 2ply. Last year's 3ply version was a bit heavier. We love how these subtle changes in a knit alter how the pattern reads and how the cardigan sits. 

100% Baby Alpaca from Peru.
Oeko Tex certified - Class 1. RWS Certified.

Baby alpaca fibres are super soft and lightweight. It is known for providing super insulation due to the microscopic air pockets in the fibres, therefore it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The same air pockets make the fibres feel as light as air and yet the fibre is very strong, meaning it lasts longer than most other similar fibres like wools, cashmere and silk. With care, alpaca knits become heirloom pieces that you will pass down through the generations. 

Sizes: S/M, M/L

Colours: Light Brown (undyed) with details in Dark Forest Green, Pistachio, Sky Blue and Ecru 

Measurements taken flat across the front of garment unstretched. The knit is quite stretchy.
