Alpaca Wool Knitwear for Women: Elizabeth, Matilda, and Tindra

Are you looking for knitwear that offers lightweight warmth and a silky-soft feel against your skin? Alpaca wool is one of nature’s most luxurious fibers, boasting up to 85% better moisture management than merino wool. Because it is completely lanolin-free, it is ideal even for those with highly sensitive skin.

Nautical Store’s collection features the Swedish-designed Holebrook alpaca series: Elizabeth, Matilda, and Tindra. These garments are built to last, maintaining their shape and signature softness even after years of wear.

Elizabeth: A Classic Choice for Everyday Comfort

The Elizabeth Crew is a light, airy sweater crafted from 70% Superfine Alpaca wool. Its classic crew neck and relaxed, drop-shoulder fit create a contemporary silhouette that works perfectly for both the office and the weekend. The garment is made using GRS-certified yarn containing at least 50% recycled fibers, reflecting a commitment to sustainable fashion. Elizabeth is available in sizes XS to M, with a color palette featuring timeless Black alongside natural tones like Walnut, Mineral Green, and Pale Peach.

The Matilda Series: Elegant Warmth and Layering

The Matilda collection is crafted from a premium blend of alpaca and extra-fine merino wool, resulting in a material that is both exceptionally warm and durable. The Matilda long vest is a sophisticated layering piece that pairs beautifully with trousers or dresses for a refined look. Side slits ensure freedom of movement, while the soft texture provides cozy protection against the chill. Also part of the series is the Matilda Turtle, a turtleneck sweater featuring wide sleeves and elegant draping that makes it a true staple of comfort. Matilda products are available in sizes XS to L, with stylish Grey and Caramel as the featured colors.

Tindra: Modern Lightness for Your Wardrobe

The Tindra Crew is a short-sleeved knit that combines the softness of alpaca with a modern boxy fit. It is an excellent choice for women seeking a light, breathable sweater that pairs easily with skirts or jeans. Tindra is made from certified yarn meeting RMS and GRS standards, with a composition of 36% alpaca wool and 25% recycled polyamide. This model is available in sizes S to L in always-chic Black and feminine Pink.

Technical Benefits and Alpaca Wool Care

Alpaca wool is one of the highest-performing natural fibers available, with fibers as fine as 17.5 microns. Unlike cashmere, alpaca wool has significantly higher tensile strength, and thanks to its longer fibers (8–12 cm), it is far less prone to pilling. The material’s semi-hollow fibers trap body heat more effectively than standard wool while remaining highly breathable.

Since alpaca wool is lanolin-free, it doesn’t cause the skin irritation often associated with traditional wool. To keep your knitwear looking its best, simply airing it out is often enough. When washing is necessary, we recommend using a dedicated wool cycle with a gentle detergent and drying the garment flat. You can find more detailed care instructions in our nautical clothing care guide.
