Care instructions
To ensure your alpaca knit sweater retains its shape, structure and softness for many years, we recommend particularly gentle care:
• Ventilate instead of washing
Alpaca has natural self-cleaning properties. Often, simply hanging the garment in fresh air after wearing it is sufficient. Odors dissipate on their own without the need to wash the sweater.
• Hand wash only in exceptional cases
Should cleaning be necessary, we recommend very careful hand washing in cold water (max. 20 °C) with a mild alpaca wool detergent .
Please do not rub, wring or scrub – this damages the fibers and can lead to felting.
• Gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat
After rinsing, gently squeeze out the water and place the sweater between two clean towels. Then , lay it flat and pull it into shape on a dry towel to dry – avoid direct sunlight and heat.
• No washing machine, no dryer, no spin cycle
Mechanical movement and heat can irreparably damage alpacas. Please care for them gently by hand only.
• Gentle storage
Store the sweater flat to prevent it from stretching out of shape. For seasonal storage, we recommend a breathable garment bag, preferably one with lavender or cedarwood protection against moths.

Why alpaca wool

Warm and lightweight
Alpaca wool provides excellent insulation while remaining lightweight. Alpaca wool blankets provide quick warmth without adding bulk—perfect for the sofa, bed, or on the go.

Breathable & climate-regulating
Alpaca absorbs moisture and quickly releases it again, leaving you feeling dry and comfortable. Alpaca wool blankets stay cozy without heat buildup.

Skin-friendly & comfortable
Alpaca is naturally low in lanolin and is often considered particularly kind to the skin. An alpaca blanket feels soft without being itchy.
