PEARL T-shirt, midnight blue

Pearl is made of Premium Baby Alpaca, which is the finest quality in alpaca wool. It is blended with the most prestigious silk in the world, Mulberry silk, which is obtained from silkworms who feed on mulberry leaves. The silk fibre is extremely fine, smooth and shiny, being also naturally odourless and hypoallergenic. Combined with the excellent qualities of alpaca wool, this garment will stay good-looking for years to come and feel wonderful on you.

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.

Choosing the Right Size: Measurement Chart and Body Size Guide

You can estimate your size in three different ways:

1. 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.
2. You can also compare the product’s measurements in the detailed drawing below to similar garments you already own.
3. The Fitle 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.

Alpa’s Recommended Body Measurement Chart for Women’s Sizing

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.

This Alpa® knitwear piece is responsibly manufactured in Lithuania at the production facilities of our long-term partners. Our partners have decades of experience in manufacturing high-quality knitwear products, and together we have uncovered the secrets of knitting with the rare alpaca wool.
