FAQs
Is this cardigan suitable for sensitive skin?
Alpaca fiber is generally smoother than sheep's wool, making it less likely to cause irritation for those with sensitive skin.
Can I put this cardigan in the dryer?
No. Heat and agitation will cause the alpaca fiber to felt and shrink. Always air dry flat.
What is the best way to store it during off-seasons?
Store in a breathable garment bag or cotton storage box with cedar or lavender to protect against moths.
Is the beige colour true to the images?
The beige is a classic, neutral tone, though slight variations can occur based on your specific screen settings and lighting conditions.
How do I prevent the cardigan from stretching?
Avoid hanging the cardigan. Always keep it folded flat to maintain its original silhouette and prevent the weight of the knit from distorting the shape.
Troubleshooting
Small snag or loose loop in the knit
Gently pull the surrounding fabric in all directions to help the thread work itself back into place, or use a small crochet hook to pull the thread to the underside.
Pilling after frequent wear
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a fine-tooth sweater comb to gently remove pills; always move in the direction of the knit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your alpaca garment, proper care is essential. Always store the cardigan folded flat in a drawer to prevent the weight of the knit from stretching the shoulders on a hanger. For cleaning, hand wash in cool water using a mild wool-specific detergent, then lay flat on a towel to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Because of the open-knit construction, be mindful when wearing bracelets or rings that may catch on the delicate weave.
