Preowned, very good condition, this classic red knit V neck sweater vest made from 100% alpaca wool is a high-quality, artisan made item crafted in Peru.
No care instructions, however research says to keep a 100% alpaca wool garment soft, durable, and in its original shape, it requires gentle handling so you do not need to wash it frequently. Often just hang it up to air out in a well ventilated room is enough. When it does require washing, hand wash in cold or warm water using a few drops of specialist wool safe detergent. Submerge vest and let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes, gently pressing the soapy water through the fabric. Do not scrub or agitate the vest. Rinse by draining the soapy water and fill the basin with clean water at the exact same temperature to rinse out the soap. For drying, never wring or twist, best practice being, laying the wet vest flat onto a clean, dry, thick towel. Roll the towel up like a sleeping bag or burrito. With the vest inside, pressing firmly along the roll so the towel absorbs the heavy moisture. Then unroll the towel, gently reshape vest back to its original dimensions, and lay completely on a flat fresh towel or a mesh drying rack, keeping it away from direct sunlight, heaters, and radiators. Never tumble dry.
