Care Guide

Socks

Durable enough for a typical cycle.

Yes, you can get multiple wears before washing

 

• Machine wash cold / cool, normal cycle, with like colors.

• Lay flat to dry to avoid shrinkage, or tumble dry on low / medium heat if you want them to fluff up.

• Avoid hot water and high heat—alpaca doesn’t like it.

Keep in mind, we’ve never had a pair get ruined in the washer or dryer.

 

Hats

Soft, structured, and best treated gently.

 

• Hand wash by soaking in cold water with Woolite or a gentle detergent.

• Or, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with a small load.

• Never put your hat in the dryer. Lay it flat on a towel to dry—cover front and back and press gently; don’t wring or twist.

• When in doubt, dry clean.

Sweaters

Your alpaca sweater is a like living fiber—breathe with it, and it will reward you. Keep in mind, you don’t need to wash your sweater as often as you’d think; alpaca naturally resists odor.

If you spill on it, spot treat quickly with a damp towel and a little Dawn dish soap—this will save you trips to the washing machine.

 

• Machine wash cold on delicate (or hand-wash cycle) using a wool-friendly detergent.

• Wash with like colors and avoid overloading the machine.

• Use a garment bag for extra protection.

• Lay flat on a towel to dry. You can roll gently in a towel to remove excess water—never wring or twist.

• Dry cleaning is always the easier and simpler route, just make sure to tell them its alpaca.

Remember

Treat your alpaca garment with care, and it will return the favor—lasting beautifully, season after season.

When ironing or steaming, be gentle and don’t use the highest heat setting; an iron can crush alpaca fibers and a steamer can stretch them out. A little goes a long way.
