Square armholes and a boat neckline give this one its shape — wide, generous, and quietly architectural. Knitted in 100% brushed baby alpaca: soft, light, and naturally warm, with a faint halo to it. Kaki chiné is a muted green shot through with a fine melange, the kind of colour that holds a winter wardrobe together without asking for attention.
The yarn is spun in Peru and the piece is made up in Portugal, in a GOTS-certified workshop. Les Racines du Ciel has been knitting from Quimper in Brittany since 2005, named after Romain Gary's novel — respect for people, animals and nature before anything else.
Style note: the boat neck wants a bare collarbone. Over a slip dress, or with the sleeves pushed up and nothing else going on.
