FAQs
Is this sweater itchy like some wool garments?
Alpaca wool is known for being significantly softer and less itchy than traditional sheep's wool, providing a luxurious and comfortable feel against the skin.
How often should I wash my alpaca sweater?
Alpaca wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than other materials. Washing only when necessary (e.g., after noticeable soiling or odor) is recommended. Spot cleaning or airing out can often suffice between washes.
Can I wear this sweater in warm weather?
While alpaca wool is breathable, it is also highly insulating. This sweater is best suited for cooler or cold weather. It may be too warm for mild or hot conditions.
What does 'Sn99' mean in the product description?
'Sn99' is likely an internal product code or style number used by the manufacturer and does not relate to the material composition or care of the garment.
How should I store this sweater to prevent damage?
Always fold your alpaca sweater and store it flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging, as the weight of the wool can cause it to stretch and lose its shape over time. Consider using cedar balls to deter moths.
Is the black color prone to fading?
High-quality dyes are typically used for dark colors like black. To minimize fading, always wash in cold water and dry away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Sweater appears stretched or misshapen after washing.
Gently reshape the sweater to its original dimensions while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or hanging.
Noticeable pilling on the surface.
Gently use a fabric comb or a specialized fabric shaver to remove pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Faint odor after storage.
Air the sweater outdoors on a dry, breezy day (out of direct sunlight) for a few hours. If the odor persists, hand wash following care instructions.
Minor stains on the fabric.
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of wool-safe detergent. Rinse the area lightly with a clean, damp cloth and lay flat to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only in cold water using a mild wool detergent. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage or stretching.

- Drying: Lay the sweater flat on a clean, dry towel away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape it to its original dimensions while damp. Never tumble dry.
- Storage: Fold the sweater and store it flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging, as this can lead to stretching and misshaping over time.
