Material

40% Recycled Nylon 30% Alpaca 30% Merino Wool

Made in a soft, lightweight, slightly fluffy yarn, Alpaca is a natural animal fibre. It is soft and fluffy, and also helps to maintain warmth. The alpaca fibre in this fabric has been sourced from Peru, where farming these animals has been practiced for centuries.

Nylon is a synthetic, man-made fibre, which is both durable and easy to care for. Unlike its virgin counterpart, this recycled nylon is made from pre-consumer and post-consumer plastic waste which is deconstructed and then remanufactured into a textile fibre.

Merino wool is a natural animal fibre. It is known for maintaining warmth while offering breathability, making it a comfortable fibre for layering. Merino wool is especially fine, creating a soft finish that has a lower likelihood of pilling or causing itchiness. Responsible animal husbandry practices are important for ensuring that sheep are treated with respect. For this reason, we have prioritised sourcing the merino wool fibre in this fabric from farms in Australia that do not practice mulesing.
