Alpaca Cardigan Blues

  • £180.00
  • in stock

These lovely alpaca cardigans are made by the indigenous indians in Cusco, Peru using very old fashioned hand looms. Made of 100% pure baby alpaca, they hang beautifully and if properly cared for will last for many years. Alpaca repels bacteria and odour so there is no real necessity to wash them regularly. When you do pop them in a machine on a wool cycle only up to 40°C.

These cardigans have little bit of embroidered detail stitched on top of the knitted garmet, really beautifully done and our best seller last year. Properly cared for, these cardigans will last a lifetime.

Please note that our model is over 5' 10" tall and has very long arms - these cardigans normally come to the wrist.

Now Reduced from £237.00.

We can send gifts all over the world and only charge the rates we are charged ourselves. Ireland is classed as Europe for postage purposes. Norway is not a member of the EU and goods will be subject to import duty. Customers in the Channel Islands need to specify their island and not select United Kingdom to have the VAT deducted - we cannot adjust it manually after the order has been placed. Import duty in Brazil is so absurd we suggest you do not even think about doing an order.

Alpaca has unique hollow fibres that have higher insulating properties than any other wool. The fibre has a low "prickle factor" which means that it can be worn by babies and people with sensitive skins. It naturally repels bacteria and odour so socks can be worn for a week without the need to wash. Embrace the arrival of long-life socks! 

We have found that alpaca socks and knitwear wash beautifully and there is no shrinkage at all, ever. We have socks that have been worn and washed for five years and they are still perfect.

It is not heat that will ruin your alpaca goods but agitation,  this is why it is imperative to do them on a wool cycle only in your machine - or hand wash of course.

  • Wash on a 30/40°C wool cycle.
  • Can be washed gently by hand in tepid water with a short spin.
  • Wash dark colours separately.
  • Reshape while damp.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Dry naturally - they do take 24 hours to air dry properly.
  • Do not dry on direct heat such as a radiator or Aga.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Wash in a net bag or pillow case.
  • Can be ironed
