Description
Who made it?
The garment is made by knitters in a cooperative outside La Paz, Bolivia. The collar of this cardigan is knitted by hand and for parts of the garment hand knitting machines are used. We are proud to be able to pay a fair share in return for the high quality craftsmanship.
Material
The garment is made of 100% Bolivian alpaca wool known for its light weight, strength and warmth. Alpaca wool is also famous for not itching or causing allergies. The alpacas graze freely and the suppliers of the fibre only use the hand shearing technique of taking the fibre from the animals. The yarn is spun and dyed at a small local spinning mill that uses eco-friendly processes for washing and dyeing.
Sizes
Choose the size you usually wear for regular fit or a larger size for loose fit. For these 100 % hand knit items sizes may vary slightly.
