From the manufacturer: Chunky and comfortable at its core, our alpaca turtleneck sweater is made to be loved. Soft and luxurious, the flecked yarn and plush feel make it ideal for harsher weather. Alpaca wool is long lasting and resistant to pilling, and doesn't have the scratchiness of some other wools. DETAILS SIZE & FIT CARE Knit with baby alpaca wool, extrafine merino wool, and nylon 12 gauge Lightweight, insulating, and soft to the touch Given the nature of the alpaca yarns used, it is normal to see some shedding and pilling Alpaca wool sourced from Peru and knitted in Dongguan, China
