Women's Baby Alpaca High Waisted Knitted Rib Leggings - Peacock (AW23)

*Last of the AW23 colour Peacock.*

High waisted fine rib knitted leggings made from super soft 100% organic baby alpaca. Designed by UMIFORM, our own Woollykins Women's label and ethically made in Peru in collaboration with my alpaca Copenhagen. 

We have designed these alpaca leggings for maximum comfort and warmth. They have a very high waist, they are long in the leg meaning they can fit tall women, but also be scrunched up like legwarmers at the bottom. The rib is very stretchy and accommodating all lumps and bumps. The high waist can be worn high to cover the belly and kidneys and is stretchy enough to comfortably cover a growing baby bump. They baby alpaca is not at all itchy, it's super soft and feels much like wearing a warm cloud. However you can also wear over the Engel wool/silk leggings if you need that extra warmth and security. A very special, hard to find Winter warmer that is sure to be loved by Women of shapes and sizes. 

Changes to the AW22 version if you are familiar: rib 2x4, tapered legs and leg cuffs, not as high waisted (it was just a bit too high last year), not as long in the legs (they were also very tall last year) - see new measurements to compare.

Baby alpaca fibres are super 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. With care, alpaca knits become heirloom pieces that you will want to keep forever.

N.B: Alpaca fabric behaves differently to wool and tends to "drop" a little with wear.

Colours: Peacock Melange (also available in Lavender Melange, Pistachio and Salt & Pepper - listed separately) (low impact dyes)

Care: Air between uses. Handwash only when required. Reshape while damp and dry flat. Mend any thread pulls or holes immediately.
