Questions
Everything you need to know about Quni sweaters.
Is baby alpaca from babies?
No. "Baby alpaca" refers to fibre fineness, not animal age. It is the first shearing, the softest grade.
Is this sustainable?
Made in Peru by Peruvian artisans, fair-trade. One alpaca yields 9-10 sweaters over its lifetime.
Why baby alpaca?
Three times warmer than cashmere. Hypoallergenic. Hand-knit by artisans in Peru.
Warm-weather use?
Yes. Alpaca fibre regulates temperature naturally, breathable in warm weather, insulating in cold.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash cold. Lay flat to dry. Never tumble dry. See our care instructions page.
What sizes do you have?
XS through XL. Measured by chest girth and back length. See our size guide.
Will it fit my breed?
Quni sweaters are sized by measurement, not breed. Any dog with a chest girth of 25-75 cm can be fitted.
Where are they made?
Hand-knit in Arequipa, Peru by artisans who have worked baby alpaca fibre for generations.
