DREAM baby alpaca turtleneck sweater - gray

DREAM - a turtleneck that does not grip

A turtleneck knitted wide and soft, so the collar folds down and sits on the neck instead of holding it. Raglan sleeves, a narrower line through the body than AMELIA, ribbed at the cuff and hem.

The one to reach for when it is cold and you still want to feel unbothered. Three sizes, S to L.

Baby alpaca is not the fleece of a young animal - it is the finest grade of the clip, taken from the softer upper torso of an adult. The fibre is hollow, so it holds warmth without weight, and it carries no lanolin, which is why it does not itch. Here it is blended with extrafine merino and a little nylon, so the shape stays where you put it.

Short fibre, no long fluff - it does not shed over everything you wear underneath.

Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own - fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit and lie flat instead of pressing on you.

It is hand-finished - hand-steamed over a shaped pad and washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.

I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania - a few at a time, never off a production line.

Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed - I check each one myself before it goes out.

It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else - no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving - I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.

Colour - gray.
