Alpaca shawl Soft, light weight and warm. Alpaca is the fiber of the Gods - lighter, warmer & softer than wool

Hand Crocheted FLOWERS Alpaca Scarf

This item is not hand made by us - a fellow alpaca farmer retired and had some items left in his shop and he asked us to list these for him....

In order to produce these scarves, the woven alpaca is hand cut and machine sewn by experienced Andean seamstresses. The alpaca fiber is blended and spun with a high-quality acrylic wool in order to produce a woven textile that is lightweight, very warm, and durable. Ideal for taking a walk in the open air.

This product is an excellent example of what can be done with alpaca fiber and how can it be blended with other fibers.

Made of extra soft Alpaca wool blend.
40% Alpaca - 60% Acrylic.
71" x 9" inches plus 5" fringe.
Hand crocheted flowers.
Brushed finish.
Hand finished in Peru.
