New York Farm-to-Yarn | American Craft Skyward is the direction everything points in the Adirondacks, and the name of the Adirondack's most famous ski trail. This sweater is knit from a blend of alpaca and wool raised in New York's cold climates. The hand has a ruggedness to it and a density and warmth that comes from animals bred to endure real winters. Each sweater is part of a limited-edition run sourced through Carbon Beneficial™ certified New York farms. B ecause we use minimally processed fibers, you may notice occasional bits of hay within the knit—a subtle reminder of its farm-to-yarn origin that can be easily removed with a sweater comb or tweezers. Natural New York wool may also develop light pilling in the first few wears. Simply smooth it out with a sweater stone or shaver to restore its finish. Meet our farms here .
