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.
Wonderful soft Alpaca wool. 50 degrees F today. Wore it on my walk. Love it. Fits well. While very functional, I would love it more with some embellishment. Perhaps a twist in the knitting. Perhaps a crocheted flower. You could get funky with the color of the flower.
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."
