This ochre sweater is knit from a silky blend of baby alpaca — which does not, in fact, come from young alpacas but refers instead to the exceptional softness and fineness of the fibers — and silk. It's the perfect transitional weight, and features a flattering saddle shoulder and a rustic rolled edge at the collar, cuff and waist. Founded in 1976, Inis Meáin Knitting Company's garments are made using the centuries-old techniques of the Aran island it's named after. The family-owned factory specializes in small, impeccably hand-finished runs of authentic, heritage sweaters inspired by traditional workwear. 80% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk Rolled Collar, Cuffs and Waist Saddle Shoulder Made in Ireland at Inis Meáin Hand wash in water no more than 30°F using a mild detergent.
