- Is the Velvet Allison cardigan warm enough for winter?
- It is a mid-weight knit with alpaca and wool, so it works as a layering piece in cool weather. For deep cold, wear it under a coat rather than as the outer layer.
- How should I wash the Allison cardigan?
- Handwash it in cool water with a gentle detergent and lay it flat to dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, since the wool and alpaca can shrink and felt.
- Does it pill?
- Alpaca and wool blends commonly pill where sleeves and sides rub. Remove pills with a fabric comb and handwash to slow it down.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut as a relaxed cardigan, so it layers over a tee or blouse. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.
- What is it made of?
- The knit blends alpaca, wool, polyester and nylon, with about 11% wool. The alpaca and synthetic fibers give it softness and shape retention.
- Can I wear it buttoned as a top?
- Yes, the button front closes fully, so it can be worn alone as a light knit top. The relaxed drape means it sits loosely rather than fitted.
