The cuddly variant to our popular LuxLove. Delicate luxury on your skin. As if baby alpaca and silk were not soft enough, cashmere caresses you. The delicate sheen of silk, the elegant drape of alpaca and the touch of the finest cashmere make every knitted piece something very special and make you shine.

Dyed on natural gray mottled yarn, wonderfully deep and layered colors are created thanks to our GOTS certified pigments.

The cashmere is gently combed out for the benefit of the animals.

4-thread, cashmere combed out, not plucked, mulberry silk, mulesing free, untreated, plastic free, non superwash, free of heavy metals, epoxy coating and other substances of concern.

We take care to represent the colors true to nature, they may nevertheless vary depending on the screen! Always set the screen to full brightness.

Since our colors are not available pre-mixed and each batch is prepared by us by hand from basic colors, variations between batches are possible. The yarns are hand dyed, one of their special characteristics is that not all skeins are exactly the same and uniform. Knitting two skeins alternately helps to prevent pooling and crossovers.

Rather cool hand washing with re-greasing detergent is recommended. Often airing is sufficient, more about this here.
