Fara Fairisle Vintage Yoke Sweater - Highland Wool

This gorgeous vintage style Fairisle Yoke Sweater is made from pure rustic highland wool with baby alpaca fairisle colourwork at the yoke with a new mock turtleneck.

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 high mock turtleneck with a neat yoke in subtle tones in a light brown fawn baby alpaca. 

Andean highland wool comes from a crossbreed sheep that lives at high altitudes over 2000ft in the Peruvian Andes and is managed by traditional shepherds in the high country. The sheep is a cross between Merino and Corriedale and the wool has exceptional strength, elasticity and warmth. With care, highland wool garments will become heirloom pieces that you will pass down through the generations.
