Alpaca-silk cardigan
70 % Premium Baby Alpaca 30 % Mulberry-silk
Block is like a stylish alternative to a denim jacket. Looks easygoing, feels luxurious. Block is the perfect choice for the chilly spring and summer evenings. Buttoned, this cardigan can also be worn all year round like a collar shirt.
Color: Midnight blue |
The thin silk-alpaca yarn and dense knitting give Block almost fabric-like feel and appearance. Still it feels like a knit, stretchy and comfortable. You can turn the cuffs - it actually looks great.
The yarn used in Block cardigan is Premium Baby Alpaca, which is the finest quality 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.
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.
Finding the right size
You can either use our smart Fitle size advisor or compare the measurements of chart (below) to your existing garment.
How accurate are the measurements? Will they change through time or washes?
There may be little variation in the dimensions of products made from natural fibers. However, the knit has good elasticity and the knit adapts to your body during 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!
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.
