Alpaca Gloves Handmade in Peru

Why Alpaca Is Valued for Winter Accessories

Alpaca is prized as one of the softest natural fibers, delivering natural warmth without bulk — light enough for everyday wear, yet insulating in cold weather. Natural and colored alpaca knitted pieces alike are naturally free of lanolin, which many people find causes less irritation than traditional wool. Pair your gloves with our hand-knitted Alpaca Scarves for a classic cold-weather gift set: inspiredperu.com/collections/scarves
