Ximena Pullover (ivory) - Jyoti
The roughly knitted turtleneck pullover hugs the body through its flexible knit and falls heavy. The fabric bulges a little around the sleeve ends and the lower hem becoming even more cozy and comfortable.
The wool of our pullover comes from Alpacas that live freely in the Andes of Peru. They are trimmed once a year with respect to strict guidelines protecting their well-being – an aspect that is of uppermost importance to us as the well-being of the animals is an absolut priority for us. Oh and interesting to know is that the term “baby-alpaca” doesn’t refer to the wool of baby alpacas but describes the particularly warm and soft underhair of adult alpacas.
Now you might think: sounds great, but why don’t you produce the pullover in India, as usual? The main reason is that (until now) we couldn’t find any wool-knit-wear producers that matched our sustainability requirements. Hence, we decided to collaborate with the Swiss-Peruvian lable JUNGLE FOLK whose knit wear is handmade by a Peruvian initiative supporting women.
COLOR: Ivory (Light cream, not completely white)
MATERIAL: 100% Wool (the baby-alpaca-wool fibre itself is breathable, dirt and odour resistant and almost crease free. Plus it is 100% bio degradable. This is why we work with this multifunctional material)
DESIGN: Turtle neck, slight overlapping of sleeves and hem, rip knit, raglan sleeves, broad cuffs and hem
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Wool does usually not need a lot of washing. Instead it can simply be aired after wearing. If your product needs a wash, please handwash it with cold or lukewarm water and a mild soap for wool products. Not suitable for tumble drying, instead gently press it between two towels and lay it out afterwards.
