My Alpaca Copenhagen's Alpaca Lousia Sweater is incredibly soft, light and beautiful. Made from ethically collected baby alpaca wool for one of the softest, and warmest sweaters available.

  • Ethically made from exceptionally soft 100% baby alpaca fibers - (not from baby alpaca but from the first sheer)
  • Made from a cooperative of Peruvian Woman - that provides excellent benefits
  • Beautiful feminine design with hand knit flowers
  • Gorgeous deep bordeaux melange color (photo's don't do it justice!)
  • Needs minimal washing due to it's natural anti-microbial properties
  • Warmer than merino due the hollow nature of alpaca fibers, yet still regulating
  • Pulls moisture away from your little ones skin for superior thermoregulation
  • Exceptional quality that is made to be loved and passed down

We love these little sweaters! They are extra soft - you really have to feel them to believe it. Alpaca really is warmer when your little one needs it - without overheating them similar to merino.

An Alpaca sweater made all the difference for our son that was getting cold at forest school. We simply had him wear alpaca on the coldest days and he was just as warm as when he borrowed a down sweater! We are impressed and in awe of alpaca!

Materials

100% Baby Alpaca
Baby Alpaca is from the first sheer of the year, and not from little baby alpacas - it is softer and stronger.

Responsibly sourced from Alpacas living in large, traditional open spaces. The animals are sheered with skill and care from those tending to these precious animals.

Woven and Knitted by skilled woman in a Peruvian Cooperative that offers very good wages and excellent benefits.

Brand Info

From Alpaca Copenhagen - A small woman led company out of Denmark.

"All garments are handmade by skilled and organised groups of Peruvian women, following strict quality standards. We are happy to train and work with groups of women, promoting better livelihoods for them and their families. We use only fair-trade practices.

Our knitters are proud of their long Peruvian knitting and handcraft tradition and they appreciate our strong social focus and the fact that my alpaca Copenhagen gives them the opportunity to have an income, learn more, and still be able to take care of their home and family.

Most of our products are handmade and we take special care in promoting the use of alpaca fibres in their natural shades of whites, browns and greys, which means no use of dyes. We also work with dyed fibres but only under low impact processes, perfect for those concerned about toxins and for those with sensitive skin".

Size Guide

We feel these are true to size.

Care Instructions

Hand wash with care.

There is no need to wash before the first wear.

Please choose a wool wash, like Disana's wool wash that is safe for little ones.

Do not use a wool wash that contains lanolin, it is not necessary as Alpaca fibers do not need lanolin to be anti-microbial.

You may only need to spot clean and air the item out.

Hand wash in the sink with cool water. Gently swirl the garment and dunk it in the soapy water. Do not soak. Rinse with the same temp water as the wash water.

Roll in a towel and step on it to remove excess water, and air dry flat. You can reshape at this time if needed.

For ease we recommend not waiting to do a really big wool wash operation, we suggest doing the piece as needed. It will actually save you time and get your little ones back in their favorites faster.
