The Alpaca is a mammal that lives in high altitudes in South America and has a wonderful fleece that keeps it comfortable at a wide range of temperatures. Alpacas are seasonally shorn of their fleece which is combed and cleaned and made into these gorgeous clothes.
Baby Alpaca is a very fine grade of alpaca fibre, often from the belly of grown-up alpacas, not necessarily from actual baby alpacas. It's around 19-21 micron in diameter.
Alpaca clothing has heaps of benefits for your child and family as it is actually superior to Merino wool in a number of ways!
If you need to wash it, hand-wash in lukewarm water, cool to tepid, no more than 30C.
Use a liquid detergent designed to protect natural fibres for wool as sold in our fabric care category here.
Gently squeeze water through, avoiding any rubbing or wringing action.
Rinse at the same lukewarm, tepid temperature avoiding temperature change. Gently squeeze the water through.
Lay out on a towel, and then gently roll it up to remove excess water. Do not wring or twist the garment.
Lay flat to dry, re-shaping while damp. Avoid direct heat and sunlight.

"I was disappointed with these leg warmers. I ordered them as a gift but did not feel able to give them and had to find an alternative. The leg warmers were much shorter than I expected. They only came half way up the calves. They were really more like ankle warmers. They were also not as thick as I was expecting. If they had been advertised as ankle warmers, I might have been more satisfied, They are not leg warmers in my opinion. I also thought the quality was so so."
This was washed... Haven't been worn
Sizing: Too small
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
