You probably won't be anymore with this sweater. The \u003cstrong\u003eSNOWFLAKE BROWN by Natural Style\u003c\/strong\u003e is made of 100% alpaca and is exactly the kind of lovely winter sweater you'll want to hide in all day long. Warm, soft, and airy – but above all: just look at that knit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire sweater features a beautiful embossed pattern reminiscent of tiny snowflakes. Not a print, then, but a true knit-in pattern that gives the sweater structure and depth. The warm brown color makes it subtle and easy to combine, while the unique knit ensures it never becomes boring for a second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the SNOWFLAKE in two colors: this warm \u003cstrong\u003eBROWN\u003c\/strong\u003e and a soft, heathered \u003cstrong\u003eBLUE\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the SNOWFLAKE is such a great winter sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 100% alpaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWonderfully warm without feeling heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUnique knit-in snowflake pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, heathered brown tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable mock neck collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLong sleeves with ribbed cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStraight and relatively roomy fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in BROWN and BLUE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBe sure to check out that knit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE has a sophisticated embossed pattern across the front, back, and sleeves. The way the yarn is knitted creates small, repeating shapes that look a bit like snowflakes. Hence the name – and honestly, we couldn't have come up with a better one ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern gives the solid brown sweater much more character. From a distance, it looks subtle and easy to wear, but as you get a little closer, you see how much detail it has. It’s the kind of sweater that makes people want to touch your sleeve. Not that we officially encourage that, but we certainly understand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e100% alpaca: light, soft, and incredibly warm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is a remarkably warm fiber that simultaneously feels relatively light. This gives you the coziness of a true winter sweater without the feeling of having a heavy wool blanket draped over your shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlpaca does not naturally contain lanolin. Many people who find regular sheep's wool a bit difficult to wear therefore find alpaca comfortable. Every skin is different, of course, so if you are very sensitive to wool, please come by and try on the sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE runs \u003cstrong\u003erelatively large\u003c\/strong\u003e. The style is straight and has plenty of room around the body. In the photos, Vera is wearing a size \u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the photo where the sweater is worn loosely over the pants, you can clearly see its length: it hits about at the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to wear it a bit looser and cozier, choose your usual size. Are you between two sizes or do you prefer a slightly less roomy fit? Then we recommend the smaller size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can wear the sweater loose over your pants, but try tucking the front into your jeans, trousers, or skirt. It immediately gives it a more nonchalant, casual look and creates a bit more shape around your waist. You can see directly in the photos how much of a difference a small tuck makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe color BROWN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBROWN is a warm, heathered brown shade that sits somewhere between taupe and medium brown. It is a subtle, natural color that pairs beautifully with dark blue, denim, cream, rust, burgundy, and various shades of green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs brown not quite your color? The SNOWFLAKE is also available in \u003cstrong\u003eBLUE\u003c\/strong\u003e: a soft, heathered blue tone in which the unique knit pattern also stands out beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn important storage tip: always lay knitwear flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStore this sweater lying flat in the closet and do not hang it on a clothes hanger for long periods.\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitted clothing can stretch under its own weight, especially when the material is as supple as alpaca. The shoulders can deform, and the sweater can become longer and wider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFold it neatly, therefore. That might sound less spectacular than hanging it in a perfectly organized wardrobe, but your sweater will stay looking beautiful for much longer. And that is what it’s ultimately about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your alpaca sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you don't need to wash alpaca often. Let the sweater air out after wearing, for example outside in the shade or in the bathroom. The fibers often refresh themselves surprisingly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs washing necessary after all? Use the wool cycle at a low temperature with a low spin speed. Choose a detergent specifically suitable for wool and silk, such as our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool and silk detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Use only a small amount and do not let the sweater soak for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGently reshape the sweater after washing and let it \u003cstrong\u003edry flat\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not wring out, do not tumble dry, and do not dry on a hanger. Wet alpaca is heavier and can easily stretch as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePilling in alpaca is normal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA soft alpaca sweater can pill slightly during wear, especially in areas where friction occurs. Think of the armpits, sides, or where your bag rubs against the sweater. That is part of soft natural fibers and does not mean there is anything wrong with the 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 carefully remove the pills. Lay the sweater flat, hold the knit taut, and use the appropriate fine attachment head. Work slowly and don't press hard: this beautiful embossed knit deserves a little love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the SNOWFLAKE BROWN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sweater made entirely of alpaca?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the SNOWFLAKE is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the sweater fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater runs relatively large and has a straight fit. Choose your normal size for a comfortable, somewhat looser fit. If you are between two sizes or prefer 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 in the photos. You can see the sweater both worn loose over pants and tucked in at the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long is the sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOWFLAKE has a normal hip length. Take a look at the photo where Vera wears the sweater loose; the full length is most clearly visible there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I store the sweater on a hanger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably not. Due to the weight of the knit, the sweater can stretch on a hanger or become deformed at the shoulders. Fold it neatly and store it lying flat in your closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sweater available in another color?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, besides this warm BROWN, we also have the SNOWFLAKE in a heathered blue color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the SNOWFLAKE in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to feel how soft alpaca is or are you unsure about the size?
