ERIBÉ merino wool ALPINE SWEATER EBONY with angora

ERIBÉ Alpine wool sweater with Fair Isle pattern in merino and angora

Oh la la! The Fair Isle pattern sweaters from ERIBÉ Knitwear have arrived! And man, are they beautiful. These knitted gems are made from super-soft merino wool with a touch of angora in the pattern — giving them that luxurious, fluffy look you won't find anywhere else.

Now I hear you thinking: angora, is that animal-friendly? Good question. Because with cheap brands, that’s often a no-go. But ERIBÉ does it differently. The angora comes from Italy and is obtained by combing the rabbits during their shedding season. No animal cruelty, just that silky-soft luxury.

The EBONY is the most refined and dark color combination in the ALPINE collection. Deep blue tones alternate with warm brown and soft beige — a combination that is both classic and unique. It pairs beautifully with black, dark blue, camel, ecru, cognac, and anthracite.

Fan of cardigans? Or team sweater?

For the sweater-lovers, we have good news: this ALPINE sweater has a slightly looser fit than the cardigan and is just as beautiful. In stock in multiple colors! And yes, of course, we have a handy size chart ready for you so you know exactly which size to get.

The Fair Isle patterns from ERIBÉ are truly iconic. Colorful, cheerful, warm, and yet stylish. This is the kind of sweater you pull on during a gray autumn day and immediately feel a bit better. Over jeans, with corduroy trousers, a pair of wide-leg pants, or just relaxing at home with warm socks: this sweater does it all.

How to care for your ERIBÉ wool sweater?

Don't wash it too often. It’s really not necessary. Simply airing it out or hanging it in the bathroom does wonders. Wool is naturally self-cleaning and actually stays looking better if you don't wash it too frequently.

Do you still need to wash it? Choose a cold wool cycle, use a detergent with lanolin like Lanalicious wool detergent, and dry your sweater flat. Don't hang it up when wet, as it may lose its shape. And seriously: no tumble dryer. Never. Wool hates that.

Also, watch the video with all my washing tips. And read our wash guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully. It contains exactly those little details that keep your wool clothing looking beautiful for much longer.

Wool and pilling – no stress!

A little pilling is normal with soft wool. Especially with such a fine merino-angora blend. Use a good fabric shaver like the Gleener fabric shaver and definitely do not pull at the pills. This way, you keep your sweater in top condition.

Sustainable & fair

ERIBÉ designs in Scotland and is known for colorful knitwear with a modern twist on traditional Fair Isle knitting. These aren't anonymous sweaters that you'll be tired of after one season. These are wearable pieces of art. Warm, special, and made to be loved for years.

And that is exactly why we are so happy that ERIBÉ is back in stock. It’s cheerful, sustainable, high-quality, and so unique. Truly a brand where you think: yes, this fits Natur-el perfectly.

Do not buy if...

Are you looking for a smooth, thin basic sweater without a print? Then this ERIBÉ ALPINE is probably not the model for you.

But are you looking for a soft, warm wool sweater with color, character, and a beautiful Fair Isle pattern? Then this is one you will enjoy for years to come.

Frequently asked questions about the ERIBÉ ALPINE sweater

How does the ERIBÉ ALPINE sweater fit?

The sweater has a slightly looser fit than the ALPINE cardigan. Check the size chart just to be sure, especially if you are between two sizes.

What material is the sweater made of?

The sweater is made of soft merino wool with a touch of angora in the pattern. That creates that warm, soft, and slightly fluffy look.

Is the angora animal-friendly?

Yes, ERIBÉ works with angora from Italy. The angora is obtained by combing rabbits during the shedding season. So no animal cruelty, just that beautiful, soft luxury.

Does this sweater itch?

Merino wool is much finer and softer than regular wool. Because of the touch of angora, the sweater feels extra soft. If you are very sensitive to wool, trying it on is naturally the best way to tell.

How do I wash this wool sweater?

Wash it as little as possible. Airing it out is often enough. If washing is necessary: use a cold wool cycle, a little Lanalicious wool detergent, and dry the sweater flat.

Can the sweater go in the dryer?

No, preferably not. Wool can shrink and felt in the dryer. Always let the sweater dry flat.

What can I do about pilling?

Gently use the Gleener fabric shaver. A bit of pilling is part of soft wool and is easy to maintain.
