The Andes Cardigan is one of the most impressive knits we've ever come across. Made of an alpaca wool/cotton blend, these cardigans are extremely soft and are at a zero in the itchy-ness factor. The design of the Andes cardigan is based off the Japanese kendo jackets, and feature a diamond cable knit stitch on the front and back yoke. These are knit with a manual machine on a flat surface, creating a substantial sweater that's densely knit and sturdy as can be. The yarns consist of plant based indigo-dyed cotton woven with a very rare jet black alpaca yarns. The deep blue color is a result of the combination of a dark indigo combined with a rich black.
