Each piece shows subtle variations in tone and weave. These are the signature of the artisan and the loom.
FAQ
Is it itchy? Alpaca lacks lanolin, so it feels smooth against the skin.
Warm enough for winter? Yes. The fiber’s structure traps heat without bulk, so it stays warm even when damp.
Where is it made? Woven in the Andes by small workshops and cooperatives.
