A cotton chunky knit sweater? Acrylic? What material should I choose?

Most brands such as ZARA or Mango offer large knitted sweaters.
But how are they made? Polyester, Viscose, Acrylic, Nylon... many terms, but do you know what they mean?

Acrylic, nylon and polyester are made from petrochemicals.
They are materials extremely used by the brands of ready to wear despite the various risks they involve such as allergies, pollution and so on.

The viscose comes from a plant. It is transformed into plastic by subjecting celluloses to numerous chemical treatments.

As for natural materials, cotton is often the most used fiber. Many brands use cotton to make their chunky sweaters.
This fiber has many qualities: it is both soft and breathable, hypoallergenic, it is ideal for sensitive skin. In addition, it is very robust, you can wash it with hot water many times without problems. Its versatility allows brands to create many different pieces easily. Cotton is also a very cheap fiber, you will find many nice outfits for reasonable prices.
However, cotton also contains some drawbacks. Cotton has a low resistance, be careful that it does not shrink in the dryer, it will be really difficult to return to its original state after. Cotton is a material that wrinkles very easily, be sure to iron it well. A natural fiber such as cotton can be damaged over time: mildew, pilling and discoloration can appear.

Why choose an alpaca wool sweater?  

At BellePaga you will find nice sweaters made from alpaca wool.
But why choose alpaca wool you may ask?

Simply because it contains unique properties and characteristics that are ideal for staying warm when temperatures are close to zero.
Alpaca wool is the most prestigious natural fiber on earth.

Its virtues are numerous:
First of all its extreme softness will make you addicted very quickly, especially since we prefer the wool of Baby Alpaca which is even finer and silkier.
Be careful, the fiber of "Baby Alpaca" does not come from the shearing of a baby alpaca but means that its thickness is about 18 to 22 microns and this is what makes the garment so silky, light and soft.

Alpaca wool has a very strong thermal and thermoregulatory power that allows you to stay warm without getting too hot when you go in and out of a heated place.

The last point is perspiration. Some people can sweat even when it's cold, or even if you're having a hectic day you're likely to sweat. Know that this wool has no smell when it is wet, moreover its thermoregulatory power allows the person who wears it not to be too hot and thus not to sweat, or at least very little.

Still not convinced?
Alpaca wool is much more resistant than other wools.
This will allow you to keep your clothes even longer!
