Hand knitted at a centre for women in the shanty towns to the north of Lima, Peru - look on the tag to see the name of the lady who has knitted yours! Alpaca is one of the finest and most luxurious fibres in the world. It is know for its softness, warmth, lightweightedness and durability. Alpaca doesn't pill and the fibre naturally repels dirt and moisture, so it stays fresh and shouldn't need washing very often. Alpaca is hypo-allergenic, naturally fire retardant and eco-friendly, and allows the skin to breathe. Alpacas are native to the high altitude South American Andean regions of Peru and Bolivia and are closely related to the llama.
