Discover an alpaca balaclava designed to wrap the head and neck with more warmth than a classic beanie.
Fit and construction
Its shape was developed to be easy to pull on, with just enough ease to comfortably accommodate the hair. Ribbed edges around the face provide secure hold without feeling too tight. Fully fashioned and hand-assembled, it stands out for a precise construction made from only two pieces. The tension of the knit was carefully refined to achieve the right balance of support, comfort, and flexibility.
Knit
The blend of 85% superfine baby alpaca, 8% recycled polyamide, and 7% fine merino provides soft, lasting warmth that feels comfortable all day. The 2x2 rib knit adds stretch, resilience, and long-term stability. The material stays plush while keeping good shape around the face. The yarn comes from a responsibly accredited supplier and carries Oeko-Tex and Peru Fair Trade certifications. The result is protective, comfortable, and easy to wear every day.
Wear and use
More covering than a beanie, it can be worn on the head or simply around the neck depending on the weather. It is a practical, enveloping piece that is especially useful when moving often between indoors and outdoors.
Care
You won’t need to wash wool garments as often as synthetics. Simply air them out to freshen up. Wool’s natural odor resistance and ability to keep you warm and dry make it truly remarkable. We recommend hand washing. Submerge the garment in warm, soapy water (preferably with wool detergent), soak for about 5 minutes, then gently swish. Last rinse (optional), add one tablespoon of white vinegar. Gently wring out and let it dry flat. Alpaca wool is durable, and machine washing is also an option if the temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, the garment is washed alone using the delicate cycle. Front-loading machine washing is not recommended, as it may cause felting.
