Regular price €119,95Warm, elegant, soft and snuggly baby alpaca oversized scarf. Perfect for those chill nights of autumn or cold winter months. Handwoven in the Peruvian Andes by a community of master weavers from Puno-Peru, each scarf takes up to 4 days to be completed. Produced in low volumes batches and crafted from 100% baby alpaca wool, no dyes have been used in this scarf, as we opted to keep the alpaca's natural colours, making it a unique, one-off handmade piece.
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 fine and soft, making it a highly valued material for high-quality garments.Do you want to know more about de design of this scarf?
