Frequently asked questions about men's alpaca scarves
Are alpaca scarves comfortable?
Scarves that scratch are uncomfortable, which is why soft wools like baby alpaca and cashmere are particularly suitable for close skin contact. To ensure that alpaca wool does not scratch , you should always go for the highest quality baby alpaca. Lower qualities like alpaca, fine or superfine can leave a pricking sensation on the skin.
Are alpaca scarves warm?
Whether a scarf is warm depends on the material and the way it is processed. Alpaca wool is the warmest wool and is ideal for thick winter scarves. So that your scarf retains body heat, it should contain a lot of alpaca wool and be thickly knitted, without any air holes that let the cold in. Thin alpaca scarves are suitable for the transitional period and are less warm. Thanks to the hollow spaces in the alpaca fibers, alpaca wool regulates temperature so that you neither freeze nor sweat.
How do I recognize a high-quality alpaca scarf?
The more alpaca wool it contains, the higher quality your men's scarf is. Scarves that only contain 10 - 50% alpaca wool and are mixed with synthetic fibers or other types of wool offer less warmth and softness. If you want the highest quality, we recommend men's alpaca scarves made from 100% pure baby alpaca wool.
Is alpaca wool durable?
Alpaca fibers are long and tear-resistant, which is why your men's alpaca scarf will not have any visual defects even after many years of intensive use. You can wash your alpaca scarf as often as you like; it will not lose its shape or softness.
How do I wash my alpaca scarf properly?
Alpaca scarves can be washed by hand or in the wool program of the washing machine. It is important to use gentle wool detergent and not to add fabric softener.
Alpaca scarves for men who appreciate something special
Alpaca wool comes from South America and is obtained from the fur of alpacas. The South American camels have long been bred for their soft, warm fur, which is processed into high-quality natural fiber clothing. The highest quality of alpaca wool can be found in Peru, as the animals live there in their natural habitat and the country has a long tradition of alpaca wool extraction and processing. Our soft scarves for men are not blends, but are made from 100% baby alpaca wool. We focus on elegant, timeless designs so that you can wear your men's alpaca scarf on different occasions. We offer plain alpaca scarves for men in masculine colors such as dark blue and dark red, as well as scarves made from natural alpaca colors in brown, beige and white.
Alpaca wool scarves not only offer style, but also functionality. Alpaca wool protects you from the cold, wind and rain and retains body heat. Thanks to its breathable properties, moisture is drawn outwards so that odors cannot settle.
This is what makes alpaca scarves for men so comfortable
Alpaca wool offers comfort like no other type of wool. It is popular with men who value quality and elegance while also wanting functionality and practicality.
Indescribably soft
Unlike merino or cashmere, alpaca wool is available in five qualities that vary in their softness. You're doing everything right with the softest baby alpaca wool, as it offers the highest level of comfort and is guaranteed not to scratch. It is as soft as cashmere and feels ultra-soft on the skin.
Best thermal characteristics
Thick alpaca scarves keep men warm in winter, while thinner scarves made of alpaca wool are good for spring, summer and autumn. Where alpacas live, they are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. Their wool has adapted to this so that it keeps you comfortably warm and doesn't make you sweat even in higher temperatures.
Breathable
Your men's alpaca scarf keeps you dry because it wicks moisture away. During physical activity, sweat can form on the neck, which is then effectively wicked away and does not create bad odors.
Allergy-friendly
Alpaca fur contains hardly any lanolin (wool fat), which is why alpaca wool is also suitable for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. Men's alpaca scarves in the natural alpaca colors of white, brown and black are particularly popular with people who are allergic to wool, as they do not contain any chemical dyes.
Silky shine
Another special characteristic of alpaca wool is its silky shine, which gives men's alpaca scarves an extremely high-quality look.
Easy-care
Alpaca wool is durable and you can wash it regularly with a clear conscience. Unlike cashmere, alpaca material does not tend to pill, which can quickly make the scarf look inferior and worn. Alpaca wool contains protein molecules that inhibit the formation of odors, which is why you have to wash your men's alpaca scarf less often.
How to wash alpaca scarves for men
You can wash your alpaca scarf by hand or in the wool program of the washing machine. When hand washing, avoid intensive friction, as alpaca wool can otherwise form lint. Make sure the temperature in the washing machine is no higher than 30 degrees Celsius and no more than 600 revolutions per minute. Preferably use wool detergent, as this is gentler on the fibers, and avoid fabric softener and bleach, as these can damage the fibers. You can also protect your men's alpaca scarf from friction in the drum with a laundry net. Scarves made of alpaca wool must not be put in the dryer or ironed; they are naturally wrinkle-free and dry quickly in the fresh air.
