What makes the Basket Knit different?
Its distinctive basket-weave construction creates sculptural texture and a more structured feel than traditional knitwear, while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

What fibres is it made from?
The sweater combines Fine Selection Alpaca with Peruvian Pima Cotton, balancing natural warmth, breathability, softness, and durability.

Can I attach a lead while my dog is wearing it?
Yes. The sweater includes an integrated leash opening for easy access to your dog's collar.

Will it fit the same as other Alqo Wasi sweaters?
The denser knit construction gives this style a slightly more structured fit, so it may feel a little snugger than other Alqo Wasi knitwear.

Where is it made?
It is designed by Alqo Wasi® and crafted in Peru using carefully selected fibres.

Alqo Wasi means “dog home” in Quechua — and the sweaters feel like it. Each piece is hand-knit in Peru using alpaca fibre and traditional Andean weaving techniques. Lighter than wool and warm without the bulk, they work indoors, outdoors, and through the part of winter where your dog suddenly refuses the morning walk. We carry it because the cut matters as much as the fibre. Shorter backs, cleaner belly lines, and proportions made for small dogs — not scaled-down guesses.
