SUPER ALPACA [100% Alpaca Superfine Chunky], Estelle

 


Estelle Super Alpaca, made in Peru

natural


Estelle Super Alpaca is a next-to-the-skin pure Peruvian alpaca with superior softness and a slight halo, similar to angora-Merino blend. It is unlimitedly soft, velvety to the touch, and slightly and naturally lustrous. Super Alpaca is in light chunky weight and suitable for any kinds of fall-winter knitwear, from office clothing and men's outfits, to baby items and accessories: long and short pullovers, coats, cardigans, shrugs, waistcoats, scarves, hats & mittens, etc. * We would recommend slightly tight knitting to avoid stretching in shape after the first wash.
