Size Guide

This Crew Neck Sweater is a knitted version of the classic sweatshirt. The shape and look is similar with the added luxury of being made from 100% Pure Black baby alpaca, making it a lot warmer in the colder seasons.

The sweater is knitted with tight tension and using high torsion yarn ensuring durability so it can be used on a daily basis like the classic sweatshirt. The inside of the neck rib is knitted using cotton to avoid any irritation to the skin.

Story behind our Black Alpaca collection.
Every garment in our Black Alpaca Project is created as a result of over twelve years of research and working together with the indigenous herding communities. Due to the global commercialisation of alpaca wool in the 1960s a premium was placed on pure white fibre for its versatility in dyeing, causing many natural colours to the brink of extinction, especially the black alpaca.

Natural Black Baby Alpaca

Due to the global commercialisation of alpaca wool in the 1960s a premium was placed on pure white fibre for its versatility in dyeing, causing many natural colours to the brink of extinction. Today the rarest of them all is the black alpaca, comprising less than 0.05% of alpacas in the Peruvian Andes, making it the most elusive alpaca quality in the world.

Baby alpaca has the micronage(0,001 mm) of 22–23micron.
It is the best known premium quality alpaca fibre. It's known for being soft and silky and contains no lanolin, making it hypoallergenic.
