These mittens are rustic, originating from small communities in Peru that produce simple items, each one differently sized, with 100% alpaca fibre, spun on drop spindles and each unique. These mittens have been lightly felted using warm water, soap, and agitation to tighten up the knit and offer more mind resistance.
For a more consistent, less rustic product, we recommend our Double-Knit Reversible Mittens.
Customer feedback: “…absolute favourite…for a wide variety of activities…love, love, love these.”
More feedback: “So soft…so warm…perfect width and length.”
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.
