Made from Italian yarn, this soft and lofty alpaca and merino wool knit is designed to be warm and yet light. This single layer merino & alpaca knit is crafted on an antique knitting machine and topped off with three functional Burntwood buttons from sustainably harvested Maine trees. Year round functionality; for winter core-warmth and summer air conditioning survival. Wear the hood down like a cowl - or flip up for a cozy hood.
