Steinbeck Baby alpaca plaid "Bogota"

Steinbeck Baby alpaca plaid "Bogota". The wonderful alpaca hair is one of the finest types of wool due to its fine, soft fibres. It is slightly shiny and has a fine structure. Despite its fineness, it is considerably warmer than conventional sheep's wool because the individual fibres are hollow on the inside. This means they store body heat and insulate perfectly. The alpaca, a subspecies of llama, also needs precisely these properties. They live on the high plains of the Andes and are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. Alpaca hair is incredibly soft and supple, a quality that leaves nothing to be desired. Cool in summer and cosy and warm in winter. Baby alpaca is the first shearing of the alpaca, so this hair is correspondingly silky and soft. With its classic checked look, this luxurious home accessory is an enrichment for any ambience. Its elegant appearance is perfectly rounded off by the fringed finish on both sides. Size including fringes.
