The yarn used in Silent cardigan is Premium Baby Alpaca, which is the finest grade in alpaca wool. It is blended with the most prestigious silk in the world, Mulberry, which is obtained from silkworms who feed on mulberry leaves. The fibre is extremely fine, smooth and shiny, being also naturally odourless and hypoallergenic.
Alpaca silk yarn has some thickness variation, which is one of the natural characteristics of the product.
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.
Finding the right size
You can either use our smart Fitle size advisor or compare the measurements of the chart (below) to your previous garments.
How accurate are the measurements? Will they change over time or after washing?
Some variation may occur in the sizing of a garment made of natural fibres. However, the knitwear has good elasticity and it adapts to your body’s shape during the first days of wear. The product will keep its measurements well.
When in doubt with choosing the right size, please contact us. Our customer service will be happy to help you!
