    Ecru

    Stunning heirloom baby alpaca knitted blanket. Such a gorgeous piece that will be treasured for generations to come. Lovely and stretchy, light but warm and ever so soft. 

    Baby alpaca fibres are incredibly soft and lightweight. It is known for providing super insulation due to the microscopic air pockets in the fibres, therefore it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The same air pockets make the fibres feel as light as air and yet the fibre is very strong, meaning it lasts longer than most other similar fibres like wools, cashmere and silk. 

    Alpaca fibre has less elasticity than wool and is a bit heavier so the fibres relax and drop with time meaning your blanket will grow to be a little bigger than this but the blanket starts out off the knitting machine at 90x90cm. Please note, some minor variations can occur between blankets due to the handmade nature of these blankets.

    my alpaca Copenhagen garments are handmade by skilled and organised groups of Peruvian women, following strict quality standards. They train and work with groups of women, promoting better livelihoods for them and their families. They use only fair-trade practices.

    Their Peruvian baby alpaca fibre comes from animals that graze the Andes naturally as they have done for many generations and are managed by small holders at altitudes of 3000-5000m. At those heights food cannot be grown so alpaca farming provides an income to families. Since the area is not cultivated or chemically fertilised or the animal's diet supplemented with feed, they graze on organic mountains although Organic Certification is not possible in those conditions. The animals are sheared by hand once a year.
