Alpaca Cardigan Apasanka

Alpaca Cardigan Apasanka

Immerse yourself in Andean enchantment through our Hand-Knit Apasanka Cardigan, adorned with wooden buttons and a round neckline. This cardigan pays homage to the rich biodiversity of nature and wildlife, drawing inspiration from the lush Bolivian Amazon. The term “Apasanka,” which means “spider” in Quechua, refers to the resemblance of the weaving pattern to the spiders commonly found in the region, adding an authentic connection to the local culture.

Each woven thread of this cardigan tells a story of nature and tradition. The design, with its vibrant colors and intriguing patterns, captures the essence of lush vegetation and the animals that inhabit the jungle. The wooden buttons and round neckline infuse authenticity and versatility into the design, adding a rustic and elegant touch to the garment.

The use of 100% alpaca wool ensures that this cardigan not only envelops you in softness but also provides lasting warmth. With proper care, it will remain in optimal condition over the years, becoming a timeless piece in your wardrobe.
