• Super soft, lofty blended yarn
• Tucks at shoulder to create a balloon style sleeve
• Sizing is generous, we recommend sizing down
• Rib finish at neck and hem
• Feature, melange knit
• Refer to the Care Instructions below for proper maintenance of your Spikkel Sweater

Material

40% Nylon 30% Alpaca 30% Merino Wool

This knitted blend has temperature regulating qualities, with wool retaining warmth when needed, while remaining cool and breathable on the body. Alpaca creates a fluffy finish for that cosy, comfortable feel. The nylon allows for durability that will keep your knitwear lasting longer.

Alpaca is generally farmed using lower impact traditional methods. Their soft hooves reduce the amount of soil erosion caused from alpaca farming, allowing for minimal damage to the land used for farming.

Our alpaca wool is sourced from farms in the Peruvian highlands.

Wool and alpaca fibres are natural and renewable.

Maker

These knits were made by Hop Hing Woollen Sweaters Factory who we have been working with since 2007. They are a family-owned business established by the late Mr Tsui Senior in 1962. Now owned and managed by his son Jeff, they have their head office, development team and sampling in Hong Kong and their main manufacturing in Dongguan, China.

We have a great, long-term working relationship with them. We are actively working to source more sustainable yarns with them through Novetex and UPW.

The factory is a member of Sedex and undergoes regular social compliance audits.
