For this sweater, LES RACINES DU CIEL uses \u003cstrong\u003ePeruvian baby alpaca with a fiber fineness of approximately 19 to 22 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e. This results in an incredibly soft, fine fiber that feels wonderful against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd to be clear: ‘baby alpaca’ does not necessarily mean the wool comes from a baby alpaca. The name refers to the \u003cstrong\u003efineness and quality of the selected fibers\u003c\/strong\u003e. It belongs to the more luxurious grades of alpaca wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, alpaca naturally contains almost no lanolin, the wool fat found in sheep's wool. Because of this, alpaca is often experienced as comfortable by people who are sensitive to regular wool. We cannot, of course, guarantee that no one will react to it or that it won't itch at all – every skin is different – but baby alpaca is one of the softest types of wool we know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow warm is the ILOE baby alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is perhaps the best thing about this sweater: \u003cstrong\u003eit is warm without being thick.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpaca fibers provide excellent insulation, while the sweater itself is finely and airily knitted. This means you don’t immediately feel like you’re wearing a massive winter sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is also temperature-regulating. This makes the ILOE not only great for the middle of winter, but also very suitable for spring and autumn, and for days when the temperature fluctuates throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the LES RACINES DU CIEL ILOE fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ILOE has a \u003cstrong\u003enormal, feminine fit\u003c\/strong\u003e and runs true to size. Hesitating between two sizes? We would choose the larger one. Not because the sweater runs small, but because we find baby alpaca looks best when it doesn't fit too tightly against the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe subtle V-neck also makes it very easy to combine. Wear it directly against your skin, with a camisole underneath, or over a blouse. And here’s a tip we once received from a customer that turned out to be surprisingly effective: \u003cstrong\u003etry wearing it backwards.\u003c\/strong\u003e That gives you a higher neckline in the front and a V-neck in the back. Two sweaters for the price of one. ;-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes LES RACINES DU CIEL special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLES RACINES DU CIEL was founded in 2005 by Nathalie Goyette and Christian Tournafol and is based in Quimper, Brittany.

Alpaca barely absorbs odors and definitely does not need to be washed after every few wears. \u003cstrong\u003eHang your sweater outside for a night to air it out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Often, that is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it need to be washed after all? For alpaca, always use a detergent \u003cstrong\u003ewithout lanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Even with a high-quality baby alpaca sweater, pilling can occur, especially in areas where friction arises, such as under the arms or along a coat. That is part of natural, soft fibers and says nothing about the quality of your sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the fuzz off with your fingers.

For this sweater, LES RACINES DU CIEL uses \u003cstrong\u003ePeruvian baby alpaca with a fiber fineness of approximately 19 to 22 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e. This results in an incredibly soft, fine fiber that feels wonderful against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd just to be clear: 'baby alpaca' does not necessarily mean the wool comes from a baby alpaca. The name refers to the \u003cstrong\u003efineness and quality of the selected fibers\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is among the more luxurious qualities of alpaca wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca also naturally contains hardly any lanolin, the wool wax found in sheep's wool. As a result, alpaca is often found to be pleasant by people who are sensitive to regular wool. We cannot, of course, guarantee that you will never have a reaction to it or that it won't itch at all for everyone—every skin is different—but baby alpaca is one of the softest types of wool we know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow warm is the ILOE baby alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is perhaps the best thing about this sweater: \u003cstrong\u003eit is warm without being thick.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpaca fibers provide excellent insulation, while the sweater itself is finely and airily knitted. This means you don't feel like you are wearing a massive winter sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is also temperature-regulating. This makes the ILOE not only great for the middle of winter, but also very suitable for spring and autumn and for days when the temperature fluctuates significantly during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the LES RACINES DU CIEL ILOE fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ILOE has a \u003cstrong\u003enormal, feminine fit\u003c\/strong\u003e and is true to size. In doubt between two sizes? We would choose the larger size. Not because the sweater runs small, but because we think baby alpaca looks best when it isn't too tight against the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine V-neck also makes it very easy to combine. Wear it directly against the skin, with a camisole underneath, or over a blouse. And here's another tip we once received from a customer that turned out to work surprisingly well: \u003cstrong\u003etry wearing it backward.\u003c\/strong\u003e This gives you a higher neckline at the front and the V on the back.

The brand creates feminine, timeless clothing and consciously works with producers and artisanal companies to preserve traditional knowledge and local employment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is precisely why the brand fits so well with Natur-el: beautiful materials and clothing that you can enjoy for years to come, but also with attention for the people who make it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you wash a 100% baby alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs little as possible! Alpaca barely absorbs odors and definitely does not need to be washed every few wears. \u003cstrong\u003eHang your sweater outside for a night to air it out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Often, that is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it need to be washed after all? Always use a detergent \u003cstrong\u003ewithout lanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e for alpaca. Our own \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/washpaca-wasmiddel-voor-alpaca-zonder-lanoline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWASHPACA detergent for alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e has been specially developed for this.

Pilling can occur even with a high-quality baby alpaca sweater, especially in places where friction occurs, such as under the arms or along a coat. This is part of natural, soft fibers and says nothing about the quality of your sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the pills off with your fingers.

For this sweater, LES RACINES DU CIEL uses \u003cstrong\u003ePeruvian baby alpaca with a fiber fineness of approximately 19 to 22 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e. This creates an incredibly soft, fine fiber that feels wonderful against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd just to be clear: \"baby alpaca\" does not necessarily mean the wool comes from a baby alpaca. The name refers to the \u003cstrong\u003efineness and quality of the selected fibers\u003c\/strong\u003e. It belongs to the more luxurious qualities of alpaca wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, alpaca naturally contains almost no lanolin, the wool fat found in sheep's wool. As a result, alpaca is often experienced as comfortable by people who are sensitive to regular wool. We cannot, of course, guarantee that you will never react to it or that it will absolutely not itch for everyone—every skin is different—but baby alpaca is one of the softest wool types we know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow warm is the ILOE baby alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is perhaps the best thing about this sweater: \u003cstrong\u003eit is warm without being thick.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpaca fibers provide excellent insulation, while the sweater itself is finely and airily knit. This means you don't immediately get the feeling that you are wearing a massive winter sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is also temperature-regulating. This makes the ILOE not only great for the middle of winter, but also very suitable for spring and autumn and for days when the temperature varies quite a bit throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the LES RACINES DU CIEL ILOE fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ILOE has a \u003cstrong\u003enormal, feminine fit\u003c\/strong\u003e and is true to size. Are you between two sizes? Then we would choose the larger size. Not because the sweater runs small, but because we find baby alpaca looks best when it isn't too tight on the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subtle V-neck also makes it very easy to combine. Simply wear it against the skin, with a camisole underneath, or over a blouse. And here's another tip we once received from a customer that turned out to work surprisingly well: \u003cstrong\u003etry wearing it backwards.\u003c\/strong\u003e This gives you a higher neckline in the front and the V on the back. Two sweaters for the price of one. ;-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes LES RACINES DU CIEL special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLES RACINES DU CIEL was founded in 2005 by Nathalie Goyette and Christian Tournafol and is based in Quimper, Brittany. The brand creates feminine, timeless clothing and consciously works with producers and craft businesses to preserve traditional knowledge and local employment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is precisely why the brand is such a great fit for Natur-el: beautiful materials and clothing that you can enjoy for years to come, combined with a focus on the people who make them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you wash a 100% baby alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs little as possible! Alpaca barely absorbs odors and definitely does not need to be washed after every few wears. \u003cstrong\u003eHang your sweater outside for a night to air it out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Often, that is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it still need to be washed? Always use a detergent \u003cstrong\u003ewithout lanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e for alpaca. Our own \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/washpaca-wasmiddel-voor-alpaca-zonder-lanoline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWASHPACA detergent for alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e has been specially developed for this. Alpaca itself contains almost no lanolin and therefore does not need the extra lanolin found in traditional wool detergents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash carefully according to the care label, gently pull the sweater back into shape after washing, and \u003cstrong\u003elet it dry flat\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not hang it: wet knitwear is heavy and can therefore lose its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan a baby alpaca sweater pill?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Even with a high-quality baby alpaca sweater, pilling can occur, especially in areas where friction occurs, such as under the arms or along a coat. This is part of natural, soft fibers and says nothing about the quality of your sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever you do, don't pull the fluff off with your fingers. This pulls more fibers out of the knit and ultimately makes the problem worse. Instead, carefully use a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. This allows you to remove the loose fibers without picking at your beautiful sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the ILOE alpaca sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the ILOE made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater consists of \u003cstrong\u003e100% baby alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e. For this, LES RACINES DU CIEL uses fine Peruvian alpaca fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes baby alpaca itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby alpaca has very fine fibers and therefore feels exceptionally soft. Many people who find regular wool itchy often experience alpaca as much more comfortable. Sensitivity remains personal, however, so we prefer not to promise that no skin will react to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich colors of the ILOE do you have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have this sweater in \u003cstrong\u003eGrege, Dark Green, Olive, Plum, and Denim Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I do if my alpaca sweater starts to pill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little pilling can happen with soft natural fibers. Do not pull the fluff off; instead, remove it carefully with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003eGleener\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich detergent should I use for baby alpaca?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably use a special alpaca detergent without added lanolin.
