Luxurious Alpaca Fiber

The Charcoal Essential Knit Alpaca Gloves are made from a blend of 70% baby alpaca, 23% polyamide, and 7% wool, ensuring a soft and luxurious feel against your skin. Alpaca fiber is prized for its unique silky texture and has a lesser tendency to pill compared to other fibers, making these gloves a durable choice for your winter wardrobe.

Handmade with Love

Each pair of gloves is handmade by a weaving collective in Peru, ensuring that every piece is unique and crafted with care. The artisans behind these gloves are part of Allpa, an organization that supports small to midsize workshops throughout Peru. By purchasing these gloves, you are not only getting a high-quality product but also supporting the preservation of Peruvian culture and the growth of local artisans.

Care Instructions

To keep your Charcoal Essential Knit Alpaca Gloves looking their best, it is recommended to hand wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Reshape while wet and lay flat to dry. This gentle care will help maintain the luxurious feel and appearance of the alpaca fiber.

Artisan Profile

Allpa is dedicated to creating awareness and preserving Peruvian culture through their textile production. They develop annual collections based on market trends and provide artisans with technical assistance, training, and loans. This support transforms weavers into entrepreneurs, giving them access to the global marketplace. The alpaca has a rich history in Peru, once reserved for royalty during the Inca empire due to its value as the finest material.

Benefits of Alpaca Fiber

Alpaca fiber is not only softer than cashmere but also warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. It contains microscopic air pockets that create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. This natural fiber is produced without the use of harsh chemicals, making it an eco-friendly choice for your wardrobe. The alpaca grazes in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes without harming the environment, and their soft padded feet are gentle on the grass terrain.

Natural Colors and Dyes

One of the unique features of alpaca fiber is its ability to produce up to 28 natural colors. This allows for a wide range of shades, from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. Alpaca can also be easily dyed in any color while retaining its natural luster, making it a versatile choice for fashion items like the Charcoal Essential Knit Alpaca Gloves.
