[Product Details]
Shrunk knit made with carefully selected baby alpaca yarn.
Because alpaca fibers are thick and prone to breaking, they tend to wrinkle when shrunk.
Therefore, after much trial and error, the shrinking method and time were expertly determined, resulting in a special knit.
While retaining the texture of alpaca, the exquisite shrinking process creates a cardigan that is neither too thick nor too thin, with a moderate sheen and a smooth feel.

There are no "seam allowances," which are always present in clothing, on this cardigan.
The patented "incode lock" sewing technique involves inserting a cord between the fabrics and sewing them together with a zigzag stitch.
This technique flattens the surface that touches the skin, eliminating bulkiness and providing a very comfortable feel.
The finish is also beautiful, with an appearance similar to circular knitting.
