The ERNA PORT sweater by ALMA & LOVIS is the kind of sweater you put on and never want to take off. The combination of baby alpaca, wool, and organic cotton makes it wonderfully soft, warm, and fluffy, without the knit feeling heavy.
The color is also beautiful: Port is a deep aubergine-to-plum shade with subtle heathered specks in various colors. This gives the sweater a lively, warm look and ensures no detail is boring. You truly need this sweater in your life!
What is the ALMA & LOVIS ERNA sweater made of?
The ERNA sweater consists of 30% baby alpaca, 5% wool, and 65% organic cotton. Baby alpaca gives the knit its soft and fluffy character. The wool provides extra warmth, while the organic cotton makes the sweater airier and pleasant to wear.
Fluffy sweater with beautiful raglan sleeves
The raglan sleeves run diagonally from the neckline to the underarms. This gives the sweater a soft shoulder line and provides extra freedom of movement. A subtle open-knit detail is incorporated along the raglan seams, making ERNA just a little more special than a simple plain sweater.
The round neckline and ribbed cuffs provide a timeless finish. The sweater falls nicely to the hip, making it easy to combine with various trousers and skirts.

How to style the color Port?
Port is a deep plum and aubergine shade that combines beautifully with denim, dark blue, black, gray, camel, and warm brown tones. Due to the small colored specks, the sweater also pairs well with pink, purple, green, and rust-colored accents.
Wear ERNA simply with jeans for every day, or combine it with trousers or a long skirt for a polished and feminine outfit.
Can a fluffy alpaca sweater pill?
Yes, small bits of fuzz or pills can form on soft and fluffy fibers due to friction. This is normal for alpaca and wool and does not reflect the quality of the sweater.
Therefore, order a Gleener fabric shaver right away. It allows you to gently remove loose fuzz so the ERNA sweater stays looking neat. Use the Gleener gently and never pull on loose fibers.
How do you wash the ERNA sweater?
Wash the sweater as little as possible. Let it air out well after wearing; often, this is enough to refresh the knit.
If washing is necessary, always follow the care label, choose a cold wool wash cycle, and use a small amount of Lanalicious wool detergent. Do not wring and do not tumble dry. Gently reshape the sweater and let it dry flat.
