I purchased a beautiful baby alpaca scarf in Arequipa a couple of years ago. Baby alpaca is warmer than sheep wool and has a softness like cashmere. These mittens have the same soft texture, if not quite as thick as my scarf. They are a pleasure to wear. Thanks to Mr. Falcon and team (and of course to those alpacas) for providing such treasures. I?ll mostly be using these for layering.
I bought this in 3 colors, and now I wish I'd gotten them all! It's perfectly designed and expertly woven. I love the lacy wavy texture and the ease with which I can wrap and wear this. It's very warm without the weight of a "winter scarf."
