Savu sweater

Savu sweater is a classic, beautiful, unadorned basic knit. The loose-fitting sweater has a V-neck and a hem that reaches the upper hip. The hem is 2 cm longer at the back.

The sweater has dropped shoulders, and the shoulder seams gently curve towards the back. The sleeves are standard width at the top and narrow only slightly towards the cuffs. Standard sleeve length.

Savu is knitted from fluffy PMK alpaca/cotton. Choose your preferred color from four options and check the size chart for the correct size. The recommended ease 10-14 cm (4-6"). 

Choosing a size

Measure the widest part of your body and add 10–14 cm (4–6") of ease. From the size chart, choose the garment size where measurement A is closest to your calculated measurement. The size chart is shown in the last image.

Example: Your chest circumference is 95 cm. 95 cm + 14 cm = 109 cm. The correct size is L.

Once you have selected your size, add it to your shopping cart. Review the other garment measurements and compare them with a well-fitting sweater you already own.

If you would like to adjust the sleeve length, hem length, or sleeve circumference, please include your requests in the “Special instructions for the order” field in the shopping cart.

Example: Sleeve length C +2 cm, hem length D −3 cm, sleeve circumference B +2 cm.

In this example, you have ordered a size L sweater. Compared to the standard measurements, the sleeves will be 2 cm longer, the upper sleeve circumference will be increased by 2 cm, and the hem will be 3 cm shorter. If no instructions are provided, the sweater will be made according to the standard measurements.

If you are unsure about the measurements, you can request a callback. Please remember to include your phone number.

Care

Hand wash in lukewarm water, 30°c, no spinning. Dry flat.

Alpaca wool is naturally antibacterial and dirt-repellent. Therefore, cleaning the sweater often only requires airing and brushing with a knit brush. Cotton needs more frequent washing.

The yarn withstands water washing well. Use wool detergent for washing and let the knit soak in plenty of water. Note that hot water and vigorous rubbing will felt the alpaca wool.
