Alida Turtleneck Sweater in Black Escorial Wool

You might own a slim black turtleneck like this one — you might own a few! — but this one is special. This lighter-weight knit is made of Escorial wool, an elevated alternative to cashmere that comes from a super-rare type of sheep originally kept by Spanish royalty. Soft and supple, with springy, coiled fibers that naturally resist wrinkling, it’s sourced from the only direct descendants of the original Escorial flock, which are now bred in small pockets of Australia and New Zealand. It makes for a sweater that's warm, light and airy in a way you need to feel to believe.
