This is a version of our popular Women’s Cable Crop Sweater in a flat bed stocking stitch with colourblock sleeves and a forearm cable that runs between colours. Knit in a beautiful 100% organic baby alpaca and makes a wonderful layering jumper over an Engel Thermal and under a UMIFORM Cardigan due to its fitted cut.
Designed by UMIFORM, our own Woollykins Women's label and ethically made in Peru in collaboration with My Alpaca Copenhagen.
We love the length of this sweater and how it sits at the perfect length for wearing layered over dresses or with higher waisted skirts/pants. Flattering boxy style jumper with a set-in sleeve. Knit in beautifully soft melange hand dyed baby alpaca yarn. Features a small cable on the back and one forearm. Waistband and cuff are in a neat rib.

Baby 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.
