This is an essential winter layer based on a timeless vintage nordic design. A body warmer like this works beautifully over thermals to keep the chest and belly warm. Makes a brilliant Spring to Autumn vest for unpredictable weather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\/M (8-12), M\/L (12-16)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light Blue\/Sheoak Melange - low impact dyes - other colours listed separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Collaboration: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.woollykins.com.au\/collections\/umiform-knitwear\"\u003eUMIFORM Knitwear\u003c\/a\u003e x \u003ca title=\"my alpaca Copenhagen Australia\" href=\"https:\/\/woollykins.myshopify.com\/collections\/my-alpaca-copenhagen\"\u003emy alpaca Copenhagen\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin of fibre:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePeru\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peru\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: PERU Fairtrade certified, Oeko Tex certified 100 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eorganic certification N\/A: the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003epristine highlands on which alpaca \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003enaturally graze cannot be assessed for certification as they are non-agricultural\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric structure:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% organic baby alpaca\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDyes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ökotex Standard 100: without optical brighteners, not chemically finished\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Biodegradable:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachine Washable:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo (s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eee our\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woollykins.myshopify.com\/pages\/how-to-wash-your-woollykins\" title=\"How to Wash Your Woollykins Wool\"\u003eguide to washing wool\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ewash only when required.

At those heights food cannot be grown so alpaca farming provides an income to families. Since the area is not cultivated or chemically fertilised or the animal's diet supplemented with feed, they graze on organic mountains although Organic Certification is not possible in those conditions. The animals are sheared by hand once a year. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMIFORM Knitwear","offers":[{"title":"S-M (8-12) \/ Light Blue\/Sheoak Melange","offer_id":52879955525929,"sku":"UMK\/MAC-2024v-Adult Rico-C856\/C970-SM","price":239.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M-L (12-16) \/ Light Blue\/Sheoak Melange","offer_id":52879955558697,"sku":"UMK\/MAC-2024v-Adult Rico-C856\/C970-ML","price":239.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0154\/7741\/files\/UMIFORM-Knitwear-Peru-Rica-Vest-Womens-Forest-Blue-melange.jpg?v=1778224262","url":"https:\/\/www.woollykins.com.au\/products\/umiform-womens-knitted-rico-vest-alpaca-blue-green-melange","provider":"Woollykins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
