Maloca Alpaca M-16 Gray Unisex alpaca scarf sku-258474865

The Maloca Alpaca M-16 is a light Gray Unisex scarf in Hats, Gloves & Scarves, SKU sku-258474865, UPC 863214000354. Made from pure Peruvian baby alpaca fiber, it is soft, lightweight, insulating and durable. The fiber's microscopic air pockets help retain warmth while keeping the scarf light.

It is described as softer, warmer and stronger than sheep's wool and as helping the wearer stay warm and dry in cold weather. A naturally occurring Teflon-like coating resists dirt and liquids, reducing the need for cleaning. Alpaca fiber contains no lanolin and is described as hypoallergenic and suitable for people with sensitive skin. The fiber is ethically sourced from Peru.

Alpacas' padded hooves and single row of upper teeth are described as gentler on the landscape than sheep, cashmere goats and other fleece animals. They are shorn once per year in summer. Maloca Alpaca is a small family-run business that produces these scarves in limited quantities and describes the fiber as a more sustainable choice.
