This project is worked in Baby Alpaca. Fine, luxurious, soft and extremely warm. Baby alpaca is obtained from the youngest alpacas and from the areas of the adult coat where the hair is thinner. The finer the fiber, the higher the quality of the wool. Its enchanting silkiness makes Baby Alpaca garments feel like a hug! On the other hand, it is perfectly suitable for the little ones. Our Baby Alpaca is soft on the skin, breathable, elastic and light. Babies can move freely using alpaca knitted items, such as sweaters, socks, hats, or blankets.}
