This is intentional to the design and creates that beautiful, relaxed batwing shape. Don't be put off by the combined sizes. You can easily wear size S\/M if you normally wear size 34 to 40.

Consider the size you normally wear around your hips and how loose you want the sweater to be. Thanks to the batwing sleeves, there is already plenty of room in the shoulders and bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLightly knit, yet cozy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a very thick, heavy winter sweater. The knit is relatively light and supple, while alpaca retains a surprising amount of warmth. In the photo, I am wearing a wool and silk camisole underneath. On really cold days, you can also beautifully combine COLETTE with a thin turtleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its loose fit, you can easily throw it over a blouse, long-sleeve shirt, or dress. The colors and stripes look especially beautiful over a simple, plain dress.

The fibers are soft, light, and insulating. Alpaca is naturally lanolin-free. This can be pleasant if you prefer to avoid lanolin, although sensitivity to wool is, of course, personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater feels softer and smoother than many chunky-knit sheep’s wool sweaters. Are you very sensitive to any form of wool? Wear a thin camisole or shirt underneath, as I do in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for a pure alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou almost never need to wash alpaca. Hang the sweater outside or near an open window overnight after wearing it. Usually, it will be fresh enough for the next wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes COLETTE need to be washed after all? Always follow the care label, use cold water, and a detergent suitable for alpaca. Do not rub, wring, or put it in the dryer. Gently reshape the sweater and let it dry flat. It is also best to store it folded, so the knit doesn't stretch out on a clothes hanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePilling with alpaca\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven soft alpaca wool can pill or fluff due to friction, especially under the arms and in areas where a coat or bag rubs against the sweater. This is a normal characteristic of natural fibers and not a sign that the sweater is of poor quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the pills off, but carefully remove them with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/search\/gleener+pluizen\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ea Gleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.

S\/M is suitable for approximately size 34 to 40. L\/XL generally fits size 42 to 46.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs COLETTE a thick winter sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the knit is not overly thick. However, alpaca retains heat well. This makes COLETTE great as a loose layer, and you can easily wear a camisole, long-sleeve, or turtleneck underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes baby alpaca itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby alpaca is finer and softer than many common wool types.

If you are very sensitive, wear a thin camisole underneath or come and try it on in our store first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to wash the alpaca sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually not. Airing it out well is often sufficient.

Fortunately, this RAINBOW is just a little more subtle. The colors transition smoothly into one another and have a beautiful, mélange appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top, you see various shades of petrol, blue, and turquoise, which transition through green and taupe into fuchsia, burgundy, and deep purple. As a result, there is almost always a color included that you can pick up in the rest of your outfit. Simply wear it with dark jeans or combine it with a colored pair of pants or a skirt. You don't need much styling expertise: the sweater does the work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does baby alpaca mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby alpaca refers to the \u003cstrong\u003efineness and softness of the fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e. It does not automatically mean that the wool comes exclusively from young animals. The fine fibers feel softer and smoother than many common types of wool and give this sweater its luxurious, supple look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca fibers do not naturally contain lanolin. Because of this, some people find alpaca more pleasant than sheep's wool. That does not automatically make the material suitable for every sensitive skin—everyone reacts differently, after all—but the RAINBOW does feel exceptionally soft. Are you sensitive to wool? Do come by and try it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight to wear, wonderfully warm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca has a wonderful combination of warmth and a relatively low weight. The sweater does not feel heavy or stiff, yet it keeps you comfortably warm on chilly days. Often, a thin wool or wool-silk camisole underneath is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turtleneck drapes loosely around the neck and is not tight. The cut is straight and slightly fitted, without being a tight sweater. In the photos, you can also clearly see how beautiful the small relief in the knit looks. This gives the color bands even more depth. I am wearing a size L in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RAINBOW runs \u003cstrong\u003etrue to size\u003c\/strong\u003e. Therefore, you should generally choose your usual size. The cut follows the body slightly but is not tight. The bottom falls approximately at the hip, and the long sleeves have a nice fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you between two sizes or do you like wearing an extra layer under your sweater? Then you can choose the larger size. Would you like to know which size Vera is wearing in the photo or do you want personal advice? Feel free to call or email us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to keep your alpaca sweater beautiful\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you don't have to wash alpaca very often. Let the sweater air out after wearing, for example, outside in the shade or in the bathroom. Often, that is enough to make it feel fresh again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs washing necessary? Use the wool cycle at a low temperature, with a low spin speed and a small amount of detergent suitable for wool. We like to use \u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool and silk detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e for this. Never let the sweater soak for a long time and do not wring it out. Carefully reshape it after washing and let it dry flat. Do not put it in the dryer and do not drape it over the heater – alpaca is not a fan of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePilling is part of soft alpaca\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven a beautiful alpaca sweater can pill a bit at the beginning, especially in areas where friction occurs. This is not a sign of poor quality, but a normal phenomenon with soft, natural fibers. Loose fibers work their way out through wearing and form small balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can remove them carefully with a \u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e. Lay the sweater flat, hold the fabric taut, and work calmly over the surface with the appropriate fine attachment. Do not press hard or go over the same spot endlessly; alpaca requires a gentle approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the RAINBOW sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sweater really made of 100% alpaca?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the RAINBOW is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% baby alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e. No synthetic fibers have been added to the knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs alpaca itchy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby alpaca is known for its fine and soft fibers and feels more pleasant to many people than coarser sheep's wool. Nevertheless, skin sensitivity remains personal. If you are very sensitive, we recommend trying on the sweater in our store first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the sweater run large or small?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater runs true to size and has a straight, slightly fitted cut. Therefore, take your usual size. If in doubt between two sizes, you can choose the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to wash the sweater often?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, preferably not. Alpaca usually freshens up nicely just by letting it air out. Only wash it when it is truly necessary and handle it with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the sweater pill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, especially at the beginning and in places where the fabric rubs against itself, a coat, or a bag. That is normal for soft alpaca. You can carefully remove the fuzz with the fine attachment of the Gleener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the RAINBOW in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is truly a sweater you need to see in person.

Warm, soft, and airy – but above all: just look at that knit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire sweater features a beautiful embossed pattern reminiscent of tiny snowflakes.

The way the yarn is knitted creates small, repeating shapes that look a bit like snowflakes. Hence the name – and honestly, we couldn't have come up with a better one ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern gives the solid brown sweater much more character. From a distance, it looks subtle and easy to wear, but as you get a little closer, you see how much detail it has. It’s the kind of sweater that makes people want to touch your sleeve. Not that we officially encourage that, but we certainly understand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e100% alpaca: light, soft, and incredibly warm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is a remarkably warm fiber that simultaneously feels relatively light. This gives you the coziness of a true winter sweater without the feeling of having a heavy wool blanket draped over your shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca does not naturally contain lanolin. Many people who find regular sheep's wool a bit difficult to wear therefore find alpaca comfortable. Every skin is different, of course, so if you are very sensitive to wool, please come by and try on the sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE runs \u003cstrong\u003erelatively large\u003c\/strong\u003e. The style is straight and has plenty of room around the body. In the photos, Vera is wearing a size \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the photo where the sweater is worn loosely over the pants, you can clearly see its length: it hits about at the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to wear it a bit looser and cozier, choose your usual size. Are you between two sizes or do you prefer a slightly less roomy fit? Then we recommend the smaller size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can wear the sweater loose over your pants, but try tucking the front into your jeans, trousers, or skirt. It immediately gives it a more nonchalant, casual look and creates a bit more shape around your waist. You can see directly in the photos how much of a difference a small tuck makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe color BROWN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBROWN is a warm, heathered brown shade that sits somewhere between taupe and medium brown. It is a subtle, natural color that pairs beautifully with dark blue, denim, cream, rust, burgundy, and various shades of green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs brown not quite your color? The SNOWFLAKE is also available in \u003cstrong\u003eBLUE\u003c\/strong\u003e: a soft, heathered blue tone in which the unique knit pattern also stands out beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn important storage tip: always lay knitwear flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStore this sweater lying flat in the closet and do not hang it on a clothes hanger for long periods.\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitted clothing can stretch under its own weight, especially when the material is as supple as alpaca. The shoulders can deform, and the sweater can become longer and wider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFold it neatly, therefore. That might sound less spectacular than hanging it in a perfectly organized wardrobe, but your sweater will stay looking beautiful for much longer. And that is what it’s ultimately about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your alpaca sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you don't need to wash alpaca often. Let the sweater air out after wearing, for example outside in the shade or in the bathroom. The fibers often refresh themselves surprisingly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs washing necessary after all? Use the wool cycle at a low temperature with a low spin speed.

It is the perfect balance for anyone who wants to wear something special without having to solve an outfit puzzle every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarm without becoming a heavy winter sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is known for its excellent warmth. The fibers trap plenty of air, helping to retain your body heat effectively. At the same time, the sweater does not feel overly heavy or stiff. Cold? Not anymore with this sweater!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca naturally contains no lanolin. Some people who find regular sheep's wool uncomfortable therefore find alpaca to be softer on the skin. Sensitivity is personal, so if you are easily irritated by wool, we recommend trying on the sweater at our store in Rotterdam first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit: the SNOWFLAKE runs relatively large\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE has a \u003cstrong\u003estraight and relatively loose fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the photos, Vera is wearing size \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the photo where the sweater is worn completely loose over the trousers, you can also clearly see how long it falls: to about the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to wear the sweater comfortably and a bit loose? Choose your usual size. If you are between two sizes or prefer a slightly more fitted look, take the smaller one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the loose fit, you can also style it in many different ways. Wear it loose for maximum warmth and comfort, or tuck the front into your trousers or skirt. This gives the sweater a more relaxed, casual look and adds more shape to the silhouette. No complicated styling tricks, just an instant different effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe color BLUE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBLUE is not a harsh, bright color, but a soft, heathered blue tone with a slightly greyish appearance. As a result, it is almost as easy to combine as a neutral color. It looks beautiful with dark blue denim, black, grey, or cream, but is also surprisingly nice with rust, cognac, or burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for a warmer and earthier tone? Then the same SNOWFLAKE is also available in \u003cstrong\u003eBROWN\u003c\/strong\u003e. The knit and model are the same; only the vibe is totally different. Blue feels fresh and serene, while brown looks a bit warmer and more natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStore your knit sweater properly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways store this sweater lying flat and do not leave it on a clothes hanger for long periods.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpaca is supple and a knit sweater has some weight. When you hang it up, the knit can slowly stretch out. This can cause the sweater to become longer and create unsightly bumps at the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFold it neatly and store it lying flat in the closet. This way, the SNOWFLAKE will retain its original shape much better. A small effort that prevents sagging and allows you to enjoy your sweater for much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYou hardly need to wash alpaca\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet the sweater air out well after wearing. Hang it over a chair temporarily or lay it flat in an airy place. Airing it outside in the shade or briefly in the bathroom is often enough to freshen it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it need to be washed after all? Use a wool wash program at a low temperature, with a low spin cycle and a small amount of suitable wool detergent. We recommend our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool and silk detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Do not soak the sweater and never wring it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter washing, gently reshape the sweater and let it \u003cstrong\u003edry flat\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not tumble dry, do not put it on the radiator, and do not hang it wet on a hanger. Wet knitwear is extra heavy and can therefore stretch out easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do you do if the sweater starts to pill?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a soft natural fiber like alpaca, small pills can form due to friction. This happens mainly under the arms, along the sides, and in places where a bag or coat rubs against the fabric. Pilling is normal and does not mean your sweater is of poor quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k.html\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to gently remove the pills. Lay the sweater flat and use the appropriate fine edge. Work slowly and without pressing hard, so you do not damage the beautiful relief pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the SNOWFLAKE BLUE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat material is this sweater made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE BLUE is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the sweater run large or small?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater runs relatively large. Choose your own size if you like to wear it comfortably and a bit looser. If you are between two sizes or want it less roomy, choose the smaller one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is Vera wearing in the photo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVera is wearing size \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e. The photo where she wears the sweater loose over the trousers gives the clearest view of the full length and fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear the sweater tucked into my trousers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely! Tuck the front loosely into jeans, trousers, or a skirt for a more casual style and a bit more shape around the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan an alpaca sweater be hung on a clothes hanger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly for a very short time, for example while airing out. Afterward, always store it folded and lying flat in the closet. This prevents stretching and deformed shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the SNOWFLAKE also available in another color?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in addition to this soft BLUE, we have the same model in the warm color BROWN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the SNOWFLAKE in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see the special knit in person or are you unsure about the size?
