These mittens feature alpaca fibre from our herd. Sheared, skirted, and sorted on the farm, it is then milled to produce the beautiful yarn used to make these mittens. Hand-knit by artisan Marcella Patenaude, they sport interesting textural features. The more they are worn, the softer and cozier they get! A modern twist on an old-fashioned favourite!
Do not put alpaca in hot water, agitate it, or dry in a dryer or on a heat source.
Soak in room temperature water with gentle detergent or shampoo for 30 minutes, rinse, gently squeeze away excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Wipe soiled area with a damp cloth free from soap, and allow it to air dry. Gently brush fur when dry and shake to fluff.
