ANUKOO wool sweater 100% alpaca HANNAH RED

ANUKOO wool sweater 100% alpaca HANNAH

This is one of those pieces you put on and then preferably don't take off for the rest of the winter. The ANUKOO wool sweater HANNAH is made from 100% fair-trade alpaca wool: wonderfully soft, light, and warm, but without the heavy feeling of a thick winter sweater.

The batwing sleeves give HANNAH its beautiful, nonchalant shape. The sweater fits loosely around the upper body, tapers at the sleeves, and has a wide round neckline. The front is slightly shorter than the back, making it look great with jeans, a skirt, or trousers with a higher waist. Comfortable and flattering, then. That’s what we love to see.

HANNAH is available in three colors: Red, Blue, and Green. And that’s where the hardest part perhaps begins: choosing.

Why we are so happy with HANNAH

• Made from 100% fair-trade alpaca wool
• Soft, light, and wonderfully warm
• Wide round neckline
• Comfortable batwing sleeves
• Front slightly shorter than the back
• Loose, nonchalant fit
• Available in Red, Blue, and Green
• Two sizes: S/M and L/XL

Batwing sleeves and a flattering fit

The batwing sleeves give this alpaca sweater plenty of freedom of movement while creating that wonderfully loose, elegant look. HANNAH doesn't feel tight around your shoulders or upper arms, yet it doesn't become one big shapeless lump either. Because of the slightly shorter front, your waist remains visible and the back falls just a bit longer.

You can wear the sweater loose, but you can also tuck the front in a little bit into your trousers or skirt. Such a small French tuck often does wonders for your silhouette. Sometimes styling really is no more complicated than tucking one corner of the sweater in the right place.

How does the ANUKOO sweater HANNAH fit?

HANNAH is available in two combined sizes: S/M and L/XL. The clothing label only shows S or L. That means:

• Label S stands for size S/M
• Label L stands for size L/XL

This way, ANUKOO doesn't have to have extra labels made, and as long as we explain it clearly, you know exactly which size to choose.

I am wearing size L/XL in the photos and am a size 40 myself. It fits me comfortably loose, which I think is great for this style. Depending on how loose you want to wear it, the L/XL is suitable up to approximately size 42/44. Do you want it less loose? If you are a size 40, you could potentially also choose S/M.

Is an alpaca sweater warm?

Yes, alpaca wool retains heat very well while the fiber remains surprisingly light. As a result, HANNAH provides plenty of warmth without you immediately feeling like you've put on an entire sheep barn. Furthermore, alpaca is breathable and helps regulate your body temperature.

Alpaca wool naturally contains no lanolin. This can make alpaca a great choice for people who are allergic or sensitive to lanolin. Most people also find alpaca soft and comfortable. Whether or not wool itches remains very personal. Do you have particularly sensitive skin? Wear a thin camisole or shirt underneath, or come by to try the sweater on first.

Does alpaca pill?

Alpaca naturally has a soft, slightly fuzzy surface. Because of this, small pills or balls may form during wear, especially in areas where there is a lot of friction. This is normal for the material and does not mean the sweater is worn out.

You can carefully remove loose pilling with the Gleener fabric shaver. Use light pressure and work slowly so you don't damage the fine alpaca fibers.

How to wash an alpaca wool sweater

Preferably as little as possible. Alpaca does not absorb odors easily, and often, airing it out overnight is enough. Do not hang the sweater on a hanger for long periods, as it can lose its shape due to its own weight.

Is washing necessary after all? Wash HANNAH cold or on a suitable wool cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees, with a low spin speed. For alpaca, preferably use a special wool detergent without lanolin. Alpaca does not naturally contain lanolin itself and therefore does not need this additive.

We recommend Washpaca detergent for alpaca without lanolin for this. Do not use regular detergent or fabric softener and never put the sweater in the dryer. Gently reshape it after washing and let it dry flat.

You can find more explanation in our video on washing wool. Also, always read the wash guide you receive with your order.
