Handmade in Peru

Regular price CHF 86.10

Our hand-knitted beanies are crafted from 100% baby alpaca wool, that is hand-processed into a fine yarn after the alpacas have been combed out. Sourced directly from the indigenous communities in Peru, the fibers are hand-selected before being spun into a yarn by hand- an ancient and rate technique preserved through generations. This manual process guarantees the beanie’s softness and comfort, preserving the essence of the baby alpaca wool without any chemical interference.

Once the fiber becomes a yarn, the intricate work of hand-knitting begin. Each beanie is crafted with double-layer structure, making it reversible for versatile wear. This meticulous process, 100% manual and rooted in tradition, ensures that every piece is a true labor of love, made to bring you the unparalleled warmth and softness of baby alpaca wool.

A curious and interesting fact: The term "baby alpaca" wool refers to the wool fiber that comes from the first shearing of an alpaca, and not to the age of the animal itself. The first shearing is done when the alpaca reaches adulthood at the age of 3 years old. This makes baby alpaca fiber exceptionally soft and warm.

Dry cleaning is the best option for removing stains or occasional cleaning.

Alpaca is a natural fibre. It is softer, stronger and warmer than merino and cashmere. Alpaca farming is sustainable, as alpacas are free roaming and shorn once a year. Alpaca fibre can last decades and it will bio-degrade at the end of its useful life.
