Hand knitted Lise Sweater made from 100% organic baby alpaca. Three quarter length sleeves, perfect for layering in the Autumn/Winter/Spring seasons. Great for kids who don't like sleeves getting in the way of play. Avoids grubby worn cuffs while keeping the core warm and snug.
Baby alpaca fibres are incredibly 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, my alpaca Copenhagen garments will become heirloom pieces that you will pass down through the generations.
Sizes: 92 (9m-24m), 104 (2-4y), 116 (5-7y)
Pistachio Lise sweater size 104 (2-4y) modelled on 4 year old, at 104cm height. Navy size 116 modelled on 5 year old. Lavender modelled on 6 year old layered over Disana merino jumper.
N.B: Alpaca fabric behaves differently to wool and tends to "drop/stretch down" a little with wear, so it really will grow with your child without looking stretched out!

Care: Air between uses. Handwash only when required. Reshape while damp and dry flat.
