Woven from a yarn made of silk and the first shearing of baby alpaca in Lima, Peru. Baby Alpacas, or crias, are prized for their cashmere-like fleece, which was once reserved for royalty. The first shearings of crias create the softest, lightest, most exquisite natural fiber in the world. From time immemorial the women of Peru have spun this incredible fiber into yarns and woven it into cloth.
Alpacas are camelids, aristocratic little cousins of the llama and the camel. Native to Peru, they have thrived at the top of the misty and mystic Andes for a millennia. Alpacas can be found roaming wild through the ruins of Machu Picchu and as tamed ranch animals.
Raising Alpacas and shearing them for their fiber has been a source of income for Andean families since before the Incas ruled their world. An amazingly resilient animal, alpacas are hardy and adaptable. In addition, they have 22 natural colors, more than any other livestock.
Care Instructions: Wash in cold water, by hand or machine. Do not put in dryer. Block dry to prevent stretching. Or, dry clean.
