Garden is unbeatable in versatility. It’s perfect for those slow Sunday mornings, but can be transformed into an elegant top by wearing the V-neckline at the back – just style it with a belt, tailored trousers, and a matching bag and you’re ready for night at the theatre.

Garden is designed to be paired with Grass trousers and is made from the same knit type: the finest silk-alpaca yarn in our collection, knitted using the exceptionally dense and durable Combined Knitting technique.

Choosing the Right Size: Measurement Chart and Body Size Guide

You can estimate your size in three different ways:

If you know your actual body measurements, you get the most accurate size recommendation by comparing them to Alpa’s general body size chart below.
You can also compare the product’s measurements in the detailed drawing below to similar garments you already own.
The measmerize size assistant can help you choose the right size by estimating your body measurements based on the information you provide. You can open the size assistant by clicking the measuring tape icon next to the size options.

Please note that there may be slight variations in the measurements of garments made from natural fibres — this is perfectly normal. Our knitwear has good elasticity and will adjust to your body after a few wears. Our knits will not stretch out or shrink if washed according to instructions.

If you’re unsure about sizing, our customer service is happy to help. Email us at info@alpaknitwear.com and let us know your height and measurements.

Product description

Garden is a tunic-length silk-alpaca sweater that sits stylishly between casual and polished. It is designed to be paired with Grass trousers but is effortlessly versatile and easy to style with any bottom.

You can also wear Garden with the V-neckline at the back, adding an unexpected twist to the design. In this case, the front features a beautiful boat neckline.

Side slits provide extra ease of movement. The relaxed hemline is balanced by a well-fitted shoulder line and a relatively narrow sleeve length that reaches the elbow.

Garden is knitted from the thinnest silk-alpaca yarn in our collection (comparable to the Swan cardigan). However, the knit is made using the Combined Knitting technique, which makes the sweater exceptionally durable and dense. As a result, it is both thin and lightweight while also being long-lasting and incredibly smooth against the skin.

Materials

Silk ♥ Alpaca Wool

Exquisite genuine silk is one of the most pleasant materials for the skin. It is composed of many of the same basic substances as human skin. When silk is combined with our finest and softest quality of alpaca wool, the result is a material that is supremely luxurious against the skin.

Our garments knitted from silk-alpaca yarn have a beautiful, glowing surface. This soft shine occurs when light hits the surface of the silk fibre; a characteristic that many have tried to replicate artificially throughout history - without success. Alpaca wool is a natural pair to silk, as the alpaca fibre also has its own unique glow. The secret of the sheen in alpaca wool is in its fibre, which is significantly smoother than other wool fibres.

You might not expect it, but silk-alpaca is actually super durable and easy to care for. Our silk-alpaca garments have remained almost completely pill-free even after years of use, and the knit has proven to be durable even in the very thin silk-alpaca garments. Both materials are naturally excellent in moisture wicking, absorbing and transferring the moisture from sweating efficiently away from the skin.

The wonderful combination of silk and alpaca wool is an excellent choice both for everyday use and for more festive occasions.

Care

Since the garment is partly made of silk, we recommend handling it gently and caring for it according to the silk care instructions.

Washing: Gentle hand wash with silk detergent in cool water or dry cleaning. Machine wash on a suitable program for silk at your own discretion. Both silk and alpaca wool are naturally odour and stain resistant, so hanging the garment outside to air is usually enough to freshen it up.
