SUPER ALPACA [100% Alpaca Superfine Chunky], Estelle

Estelle Super Alpaca, made in Peru

Do you believe in Superman? How about Superalpaca? If the first one is likely possible, the second one already exists. Unlimitedly fluffy and velvety to the touch, slightly and naturally lustrous, this pure superfine Peruvian alpaca is in light chunky weight, has the superior softness and slight, similar to angora, halo (!), and it can be worn next to the skin. Super Alpaca is suitable for any types of 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 stretch in shape after first wash.
