Striped Blue 100% Alpaca Knit Cardigan, "Texture Trove"
Ana Fernandez of Peru designs this knit cardigan of sumptuously soft 100% alpaca wool. The long sweater features stripes of blue and green, a subtle diamond stitch pattern, and a button-front closure with coconut shell buttons etched with a floral motif.
"For me, designing is a fusion of ideas," comments the artisan. "I blend fashion trends with my own favorite sources of inspiration, which are Victorian textiles and our Peruvian culture. I love designing apparel of alpaca wool and cotton because this really makes a contribution to society. It lets me give jobs to local people, especially women who want to get ahead and move to central Peru seeking a better future."

"Superbly crafted! Lovely hues! Alpaca is a FAV!!"





I love, love, love the colors in this alpaca yarn!! The design worried me a little bit, though I love it I am not as svelte as the model pictured, but I discovered the design does well for curvy women too! Thank you for your expertise!!

"Just a tad disappointed"





This sweater is woven of beautiful colors and is sized just right. However, the stripes on one side dont line up where attached to the front panel and the fabric is more loosely woven than other alpaca items I have ordered. Thus, the feeling and appearance are a bit cheaper than indicated by the price I paid. It is a pretty sweater, but expected it to be better.

"Perfect sweater that I will wear often"





This sweater is larger than others by Ana Fernandez I have, will keep anyway, great length, difficult for me to return items. It will look fine with clothes I wear. Actually, reluctant to wash.
