outlets The Oasis Alpaca Hat is the first hat in our newest Collection, The Alpaca Collection. This Superfine Alpaca Yarn is from my friend Star @galleryarns. It comes from Peru, by Alpaca raised 13,000 feet above sea level. Peruvian culture has always honored these gentle animals. They are treated with respect throughout their lives, including at shearing time. Alpaca shearing occurs only once a year there, when the weather is the hottest and the animals are at risk of heat stroke from their heavy coats. Shearers work very quickly to limit the animals' stress. They are able to remove pounds of fur in just a few minutes. Alpaca wool is superior to sheep's wool and to cashmere in many ways. Pure alpaca wool contains no lanolin, which is a natural oil produced by sheep, and the leading cause of itchiness and redness many people experience while wearing sheep's wool. Without lanolin, alpaca wool is considered hypoallergenic, meaning its far less likely to cause any allergic reaction.
This lovely blue is so vibrant I think the name Oasis fits it perfectly. It is so lovely there may not be words to describe it. The texture of superfine alpaca wool is both smooth and soft. It is one third the weight of traditional wool yet warmer and it has superb wicking and breathability. I know you will love it as much as I do!
Please note that your new Oasis Alpaca Hat will not need frequent washing. When it does, it should be hand washed in cool water and then laid flat to dry.
The Oasis Alpaca Hat will fit most teens and adults, 19” to 23”.
