Ladies Knit Sweater Royal Alpaca

"Royal Alpaca" is the name given to the rare, highest quality grade of alpaca hair. La Prenda combines the immensely fine, soft and warming fiber in this crew neck sweater with the exceptionally long staple Pima cotton, which is also called the "silk of South America" thanks to its smooth fibers. Here, the Pima cotton is on the inside of the sweater, while the Royal Alpaca makes up the outside. The sweater has raglan sleeves, it is cut straight and somewhat boxy, longer in the back than in the front, and has long side vents. An implied seam runs across the front and back of the sweater, which visually slims the silhouette a bit. Ribbed knit cuffs finish off the neck, sleeves and torso.

The label La Prenda stands for high-quality fashion made from alpaca hair. Behind it are Matthias Hess and his team in Lima, Peru. Their twenty years of know-how gathered in the entire textile production chain guarantee outstanding quality. Therefore, the first step is carefully selecting the fibres at the shearing stage. To provide some models in natural colours, La Prenda has the shearings meticulously sorted by hand. All La Prenda models, woven or knitted ones alike, feature stylish cuts, display the best handicraft techniques and offer a high level of wearer comfort.
