Gift
giving made easy: Everyone
loves the luxury of alpaca.
"Alpaca"
is one of the worlds most luxurious yarns, soft and very
lightweight, each tiny fiber is hollow with super insulating
properties. Alpaca repels water, which is why, when
you wear alpaca socks, your feet stay dry (that is called
wicking) and hikers know how important it is to keep your
feet dry! despite having no "yicky
sticky" oils or lanolin to maybe irritate your skin. Alpaca
is very easy to care for, dries fast when washed or you can
save yourself even that easy option and have it dry-cleaned.
How to
clean alpaca garments: (if you don't have them dry
cleaned) ... A few turns in some water with generic shampoo,
rinse 'till clear (do not wring or twist) block and roll in
a towel overnight, then let air dry. If your felted hat
gets damp or wet, just let it air dry.
