Skyward Alpaca/Wool Sweater (Ivory)

New York Farm-to-Yarn | American Craft Skyward is the direction everything points in the Adirondacks, where the trails climb through spruce and balsam toward open summits and the sky feels closer than it does anywhere else. This sweater is knit from a blend of alpaca and wool raised in cold climates, and the fiber carries the evidence of that life. The hand has a ruggedness to it, a density and warmth that comes from animals bred to endure real winters rather than mild ones. It is the opposite of fragile. Wear it on the mountain, wear it to dinner, wear it hard. It will hold. Each sweater is part of a limited-edition run sourced through Carbon Beneficial™ certified New York farms.  Because we use minimally processed fibers, you may notice occasional bits of hay within the knit—a subtle reminder of its farm-to-yarn origin that can be easily removed with a sweater comb or tweezers.  Natural New York wool may also develop light pilling in the first few wears. Simply smooth it out with a sweater stone or shaver to restore its finish. Meet our farms here.
