Women's Fairisle Vintage Yoke Sweater - 100% Baby Alpaca - Lavender (S-L)

This gorgeous vintage style Fairisle Yoke Sweater made from 100% organic baby alpaca in a new colourway for 2025 - Lavender Melange with fairisle details at the yoke. A piece to cherish forever. Modelled in Light Brown Melange from our past collection. Beautiful with our 40s style panel skirt listed separately!

Designed by UMIFORM Knitwear, our own Woollykins Women's label and ethically made in Peru in collaboration with My Alpaca Copenhagen. 

The vintage style jumper has a cute high rib neckline and very subtle puff to the sleeves and a wide rib hem that falls at the waist. The sweet Fair Isle motif is based on a vintage sweater pattern first printed in Woman's Weekly 1946.

We love the fit and length of this sweater and how it falls at the perfect length for layering over dresses or higher waisted skirts/pants. Very flattering shaping with a neat yoke in subtle tones in a light brown fawn baby alpaca. 

Matching accessories: 40s panel skirt, fingerless mits, handwarmers, legwarmers, neckwarmers, belly warmer and socks

Baby alpaca fibres are super soft and lightweight. It is known for providing super insulation due to the microscopic air pockets in the fibres, therefore it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The same air pockets make the fibres feel as light as air and yet the fibre is very strong, meaning it lasts longer than most other similar fibres like wools, cashmere and silk. With care, alpaca knits become heirloom pieces that you will pass down through the generations. 

Sizes: S/M, M/L

Measurements (in cm): Taken flat across the front of garment unstretched. The knit is verystretchy. 

N.B: Alpaca fabric behaves differently to wool and tends to "drop" a little with wear.

Colours: Lavender Melange (low impact dyes) with subtle colourwork in the yoke featuring AW25 colours Golden Wheat, Sherbet, Cherry Red and Medium Grey on a Lavender background.

Care: Air between uses. Handwash only when required. Reshape while damp and dry flat. Mend any thread pulls or holes immediately.
