Premium baby alpaca wool has been double knit into a warm, stretchy, English-style beanie that’s super comfy and pairs with everything. Its long length lets you roll the edge to adjust the size for perfect coverage while doubling the insulation around your face and ears. And its unstructured design makes it so portable that you’ll always have it handy when temperatures fall and breezes blow.
“Baby Alpaca” refers to the fineness of the alpaca wool—not the age of the animal—and is one of the softest grades of alpaca wool, most often compared to Merino wool in feel. Softer, lighter, and warmer than sheep’s wool, baby alpaca wool is naturally water-repellent and a thermal insulator, even when wet. Because alpaca wool contains no lanolin, it’s also hypoallergenic and can be worn next to the skin (it doesn’t cause that “scratchy” feeling in those sensitive to regular wool products). Over 80% of alpaca wool comes from Peru, supporting over 50,000 families living in the Andes mountains; it is widely considered one of the most eco-friendly natural fibers.
