The Teckel Winter Set

Yarn: 100% baby alpaca, both pieces. Stitch: cable knit, hand-loomed on manual flat looms. Sweater buttons: horn-finished. Construction: sweater drafted for the dachshund silhouette with sleeves and ribbed cuffs; balaclava seamless. Hand-loomed and assembled in Huancayo, Peru.

The Teckel Winter Set is sized by teckel sweater. The matching balaclava size is included automatically:

· Teckel Sweater XXS → Balaclava S
· Teckel Sweater XS → Balaclava S
· Teckel Sweater S → Balaclava M
· Teckel Sweater M → Balaclava M
· Teckel Sweater L → Balaclava L

How to measure
· Back length — from the base of the collar to the base of the tail
· Chest — the widest point, just behind the front legs
· Neck — where the collar sits

If your dachshund needs a different size combination, please order the sweater and balaclava separately, or send us a DM.

Care
Hand-wash both pieces cold with a mild detergent designed for wool or fine fibres — never use regular detergent, which strips the natural oils from the alpaca. Soak for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse gently. Press the water out with a towel — do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape while damp.

Cared for this way, baby alpaca softens with every wash rather than pilling.

Store folded, not hung, with a piece of cedar to keep moths away.

Traceability
Designed in Paris. Hand-loomed and assembled by our team of women artisans in Huancayo, Peru, at 4,200 metres above sea level.

Every piece is loomed on manual flat looms — machines operated entirely by hand, without electricity or automation — then assembled by hand.

Colette et Gastón works in small batches because the alternative is to make poorly.
