Baby Alpaca Mittens in Crimson and White from Peru, "Crimson Mountains"

In wonderfully contrasting white and crimson, achieved with natural dyes, a beautiful pair of mittens is knit of soft baby alpaca wool. By Peruvian artisan Maria Teresa Tejada, they feature with little red pompoms at the wrists; the red is an alpaca blend, necessary to achieve the desired color. Each tip folds back to reveal finger holes. Baby alpaca refers to the fine fleece from the season's first shearing.
