ANUKOO LOIS NIGHT 100% alpaca wool cardigan
This knit! The ANUKOO LOIS NIGHT is a beautiful dark blue women's cardigan made of 100% alpaca, featuring a unique relief pattern that runs throughout the garment. It's not just your average basic cardigan, but one that is incredibly easy to wear.
LOIS has a round neckline, long sleeves, and a full button placket at the front. Buttoned up, it’s almost like a sweater; worn open, it’s a wonderfully warm layer over a shirt, blouse, or dress. The deep NIGHT color is a dark blue that truly matches everything. That’s convenient, because this is one that will likely become a staple in your wardrobe.

A cardigan and a sweater in one
The great thing about a button-up cardigan is its versatility. Wear LOIS fully closed as a warm alpaca sweater, leave the top buttons undone, or wear it open over a camisole or long-sleeved top. Handy for those days when the temperature seems to cycle through three seasons.
The relief knit gives the cardigan character, but the solid dark blue color keeps it understated enough for every day. With jeans, LOIS is wonderfully uncomplicated, but it also pairs perfectly with smart trousers or a skirt for the office or a dinner out.
Fit and sizing advice
LOIS fits true to size. In principle, choose the size you normally wear. I am wearing a size L in the photos.
The cardigan fits nicely without being tight and has enough room to wear a thin shirt or camisole underneath. If you want to wear a thicker layer underneath or prefer a looser fit, you can consider trying a size up.
Why alpaca is so wonderfully warm
Alpaca wool retains a lot of heat while remaining relatively light. This gives you the coziness of a genuine wool cardigan with LOIS, without it feeling heavy or bulky. It is exactly the kind of cardigan you can wear indoors over a shirt and easily layer under a coat when heading outside.
Alpaca naturally contains no lanolin. This can be pleasant for people who are sensitive or allergic to lanolin, although everyone's skin is different. How soft or itchy you find wool is also personal. If you are very sensitive, we recommend coming by to try it on.
Fair trade made
LOIS is produced entirely fair trade. This means that production focuses on fair working conditions and the people who make the cardigan. Combined with the beautiful knitwork and pure alpaca fibers, this makes it a garment to take care of and wear for years to come.
How to care for a pure alpaca cardigan
Do not wash LOIS more often than necessary. You can usually freshen up alpaca by simply airing it out. If washing is necessary, always follow the care label and use a cold or dedicated wool cycle with minimal agitation.
We recommend Washpaca, a special detergent for alpaca without lanolin. Do not use fabric softener, do not wring the cardigan, and do not put it in the tumble dryer. Gently reshape LOIS and let it dry flat. It is best to store the cardigan folded so that the knit does not stretch on a hanger.
