Alpaca scarves for women

Alpaca wool comes from alpacas that live in the Andes of South America and have been bred for their valuable wool for thousands of years. They owe their special wool to their descent from wild vicuñas. Vicuna wool is the most expensive wool in the world and is only offered by a few fashion brands. Softness and warmth are particularly important to women when it comes to scarves. No wool is better suited to soft scarves than alpaca wool. Cashmere is just as soft as baby alpaca but less warm and merino is almost as warm as alpaca wool but generally less soft.

With us you will find plain and patterned scarves, scarves with fringes and also fine blends such as alpaca silk wool. Elegance and maximum comfort are the signature of our collection of alpaca scarves for women from Peru, the land of the alpacas with the largest alpaca population in the world. Longer scarves can be wrapped around your neck several times and keep you warmer, while shorter scarves are often the accessory that completes your outfit. If you are looking for a scarf for evening events, we can recommend our alpaca stoles, as larger shoulder scarves. Our cream-colored stoles are particulary popular for weddings, made from 100% baby alpaca or mixed with silk.

Alpaca wool enchants you from the very first moment. In addition to its comfort, it offers other special features that quality-conscious people appreciate.

Baby alpaca is the softest alpaca wool. It is as soft as cashmere and keeps you pleasantly warm at the same time. Thick alpaca scarves are ideal for winter, while thin scarves made of alpaca wool benefit from their thermal properties. Alpaca fibers are hollow inside and keep you warm or have a cooling, insulating effect, depending on the weather conditions.

It is important for textiles that are close to the skin, such as alpaca scarves for women, that they are breathable and wick away moisture. Alpaca wool and merino wool offer this characteristic, so that your neck stays dry and odor-free even when you are physically active. It is so gentle on the skin that alpaca wool is also suitable for allergy sufferers. Alpaca fur naturally contains hardly any lanolin (wool fat) and is therefore particularly popular with people who are allergic to wool and those with neurodermatitis.

Our alpaca scarves for women in the colors cream, gray, brown and black are the natural colors of the Andean camels. The chemical dyeing process is completely eliminated and the fine alpaca fibers are generally difficult to treat with chemicals. Your skin will thank you.

Another special property of alpaca wool is its natural shine. In addition to its softness, the silky shine is the second aspect that women love about alpaca wool.

Alpaca wool is robust and does not lose its shape and softness even after many years or frequent washing. The fact that it is light in weight increases the comfort, especially for thick winter scarves. You can wash alpaca wool less often with a clear conscience, as it contains bacteria-inhibiting molecules that prevent bad smells from settling. Unlike cashmere, alpaca wool is hardly prone to annoying pilling knots that would quickly impair the appearance of your elegant scarf.

Alpaca wool airs out well in the fresh air, which is why it is less often necessary to wash alpaca scarves. When the time comes, you can wash them by hand or in the wool program of the washing machine. Make sure the temperature is not more than 30 degrees Celsius and the spin speed is not more than 600 revolutions per minute. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, instead add wool detergent and protect the alpaca scarf with a laundry net to prevent friction in the drum. Do not put alpaca scarves in the dryer or iron them, but let them air dry lying down.
