Here are Linnae's Signature mittens made with 100% alpaca!

 

These mitts have a two tone color (as seen on grey pair) to create a contrasting color on the cuff which can be lossened or tightened by a leather bow from the side according to the wearer's comfort. They also have a leather palm which provides both a classic modern look as well as increased warmth and durablity.

 

Alpaca is known for its moisture wicking and effective thermal attributes and therefore mitts made from 100% alpaca are perfect for helping to keep your hands warm and dry!

 

Linnae hand felts these seemless mitts from alpaca fibre that is grown and processed locally.

 

Alpaca Facts:

-Fibres are nearly completely hollow, wherease wool contains only pockets of air. This additional space creates greater thermal capacity.

-Alpaca is said to be three times warmer than wool.

-Since it lacks lanolin, it is considered to be hypoallergenic.

-Water resistant

-Equivalent softness, more warmth and higher wicking properties than merino wool.

-Alpaca has one of the highest tensile strengths of any natural fibre, second only to silk and some bast fibres (such as hemp and linen).

-Lower tendency to shrink than wool and cashmere.

-Historically, an Incan man's wealth was counted in textiles made from alpaca fibre.
