Round neck sweater in natural tones with a drawstring and wide knitted cuffs with slits give the oversized sweater a casual touch. Our sweater is knitted from 100% Baby Lama using the traditional technique to give it its signature texture. The result is a lightweight piece that offers plenty of room for easy movement and optimal comfort.
The baby llama has an exclusive fiber quality that comes from the shearing of the younger animal. The “descerdado” process to get a fine fiber is very complex.
The model (1.6 m) is wearing size 1
Llama wool, which is essential to the Andean ecosystem.
The llamas come from the mountain valleys of the Andes in Argentina up to an altitude of around 4000 m and grow up freely in the provinces of Salta and Jujuy. These animals are used to living in high, cold and dry areas and are kept by small producers and farmers. Their wool is obtained through a shearing process (as opposed to machine shearing) that completely respects the animal and does not harm it. Because of the privileged location, our Lama wool is characterized by excellent shine, silkiness and fineness.

Our collection of Baby Llama wool sweaters are based on the fiber's natural colors (from natural to black through various shades of gray and brown) and are manufactured without chemical processes to minimize harmful substances for people and the environment.
Warm – Soft – Breathable – Ecological
The noble and high-quality Lama wool is characterized by its special properties: it is warm, very light, resistant and has excellent insulation properties. Because of their grazing behavior (they feed on grasses), llamas do not tear up vegetation like sheep, cattle and goats, but rather carry out pruning that better preserves the grasses. Finally, they have special features such as the small dimensions of the paws with a kind of sole so that the natural grass areas are not destroyed by trampling and the ground is not damaged.
