A beautiful double-sided tube/cowl scarf knitted in the finest baby alpaca. Soft, warm, and so easy to wear. Featuring a different richly variegated colour on each face - such a stunning knit.
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.
