This beautiful snowflake hat was hand knitted using an alpaca/wool blend yarn from NAAFP (North American Alpaca Fiber Producers) which was hand dyed a striking blue. NAAFP sorts the alpaca fiber prior to putting it into product to produce a superior handling yarn that knits up like a dream. We send many of our fleeces to NAAFP each year. The white contrast yarn is 100% wool.
As the hat was knitted the yarn strands were woven in the back rather than stranded. By weaving the yarn strands together the hat has more substance and there is less chance of snagging the yarn strands as you handle the hat.
A deep cuff provides extra warmth at the brim, behind the cuff lies a pretty design.
This is a special hat made with care and dedication. Many hours went in to its creation. This truly is an example of going from farm to fashion. Surprise someone you love with this special hat.
Windrush Alpaca Products: Luxury never felt so good or cost so little (TM)
Alpaca fleece is as soft as cashmere and stronger than wool. Naturally stain resistant and odor resistant it is a durable yet luxurious fiber.
Correctly processed alpaca does not have the prickle effect of wool and can usually be worn by those who are allergic to wool.
Our alpacas are raised in a gentle, caring manner. Each one is treasured for its special characteristics in both fleece and reproductive ability.
