Coffee Beanies, Alpaca wool sweater, striped, multiple colors, Burundi

Our fluffy alpaca wool blend is exactly how we want it to be. Pampered so you can snuggle up in it in the early mornings.

The alpaca is the best source of wool. It is gentle in its environment, drinks very little water and eats only the outermost twigs over a large area. The wool is the most tempering wool. So it's perfect for our changeable weather. At the same time, it holds water up to 40% of its own weight without losing its ability to warm you. The yarn for the sweaters is brushed wool with alpaca wool and sheep's wool as well as some polyamide or nylon to give the products durability for many years of use.

Either the wool is deadstock and should have been burned. Alternatively, it is a wool composition with some recycled polyamide and biodegradable alpaca/wool.

Coffe Beanies is a slow fashion brand: higher quality; timeless designs, less production and no machines.

Importance of your purchase: Knitting is the coffee farmers' way out of extreme poverty. Every time you buy one of these beautiful sweaters, you ensure the survival of a hard-working Burundian family trying to make a living as coffee farmers. But it requires our help when we are talking about the world's poorest country (2022).

Coffee Beanie's sweater is a way out of poverty for a hard-working Burundian family. When an African knitter makes one sweater a week, there can be food for the whole family for a week. A hand-knitted sweater is help for self-help.

When a knitter makes a sweater a week, it means food for a week for the whole family.

Size: The alpaca sweater is hand knitted. The size may vary from time to time. We have asked the knitters to aim for the following measurements: 55 cm. wide and 54 cm. long. The sleeves are a little longer than the sweaters you usually find.

It is one size – since people have individual tastes and we do not want to dictate who it fits – whether it should be worn tight or loose.

Washing instructions: We always recommend that you hand wash and lay dry our products. The wool is basically self-cleaning and you can hang it out dry in your bathroom in the steam after showering.
