The \u003cstrong\u003eSNOWFLAKE BLUE by Natural Style\u003c\/strong\u003e is made of 100% alpaca and combines wonderful warmth with a light and supple feel. But what makes this sweater truly special? That beautiful knit. Take a close look, because only then will you see just how much detail it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft, heathered blue hue is reminiscent of a winter sky and makes the integrated relief pattern stand out beautifully. The sweater is warm enough for the coldest days, yet looks light and serene due to its color and fine knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have the SNOWFLAKE in two colors: this heathered \u003cstrong\u003eBLUE\u003c\/strong\u003e and a warm, natural \u003cstrong\u003eBROWN\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the SNOWFLAKE BLUE is so lovely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 100% alpaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWonderfully warm yet relatively light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive integrated snowflake pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, heathered blue-grey color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable mock neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLong sleeves with ribbed cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cut with a relatively loose fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in BLUE and BROWN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA knit worth pausing for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name SNOWFLAKE didn't just come out of thin air, of course. Throughout the entire sweater – from the front and back to the sleeves – runs a sophisticated relief pattern with small integrated shapes. They look a bit like snowflakes, flowers, or stars, depending on how long you look at them. Either way: it is definitely not boring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the pattern is knit in the same color, the sweater remains subtle and easy to combine. Meanwhile, the relief provides depth and character. 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?
