Balera Cardigan

This alpaca-blend cardigan is defined by its exaggerated, fuzzy pile and a slouchy, relaxed drape that hangs well below the hips. The wide, ribbed cuffs and deep front pockets ground the airy, lightweight knit, while the open-front construction allows it to layer cleanly over structural pieces or minimalist shifts. It’s an exercise in soft, tactile volume that leans into the plush, brushed textures central to modern knitwear.

Safety Rating: Fair

Analysis: The blend of 78% alpaca with 19% nylon and 3% spandex creates a soft, breathable natural base, but the inclusion of synthetic fibers places it in the fair category. The "dry clean only" requirement suggests the use of chemical solvents during maintenance, which should be monitored for those with skin sensitivities.
