How to take care of your Alpaca Wool product 🦙✨

Hand-washing is the gentlest method of cleaning an Alpaca garment, and will add years to the life of your Alpaca clothing.

Follow these four simple steps and your Alpaca purchase will give you years of luxurious comfort and wear. 

  1. Gently wash in warm water (30 grader Celsius) with a mild soap (mild shampoo will do) and thoroughly rinse in water of the same temperature. Special care must be taken as wet Alpaca fabric can weaken and stretch out of shape. Never wring or twist. Gently press excess water from garment.
  2. While supporting the weight of the wet garment lay it on a dry towel. Ease the garment back into shape and roll up in the towel. Press to remove excess water and repeat this step with a second towel.
  3. On a flat surface lay the sweater on a fresh, dry towel, until thoroughly air dried.
  4. Once your Alpaca garment is dry, fold it carefully.

Follow these steps, and your Alpaca purchase will be your cozy companion for years to come! 🌈👕

Wrinkles: Generally, alpaca woolen garments are like the superheroes of wrinkle resistance. However, if a few creases dare to appear, here's a simple tricks

Hanging Magic: Simply hang your alpaca wonder on a hanger, and let gravity work its charm. Those wrinkles will bid farewell, and your garment will gracefully return to its original shape. Easy, right?

🌬️ Steam Power: For those more stubborn wrinkles, consider giving your garment a spa day with a clothes-steamer or steam-iron. A little steam can go a long way in smoothing things out.

🚫 No to Regular Ironing: Just a quick heads-up, though—regular ironing isn't the go-to move for alpaca wool. Let's keep it lovingly wrinkle-free without the traditional iron dance.

 

Smells: Here's a gentle guide to banish any unwanted smells and keep your alpaca goodies in tip-top shape.

🍃 A Breath of Fresh Air: The simplest trick to bid farewell to odors is to let your alpaca garment breathe. Pop it in a misty environment – whether it's by the window, outside, or even in the bathroom during your shower. The magic happens as the steam and air embrace the fibers, ushering out the old scents and inviting in a breath of freshness.

🚿 Misty Marvels: A misty or foggy setting works wonders for airing your alpaca wonders. The vapor seeps into the fibers, detoxifying them from the inside out. Alpaca wool, with its tiny scales, opens up to the vapor, ensuring a thorough cleanse without the risk of pilling or felting.

🏡 Foggy Spots Around You: Creating the perfect misty haven is easy-peasy! Try the bathroom during your shower (just not in the shower!), hanging by the window on a chilly, humid night, or basking in the mist outdoors. Nature's freshness is right at your doorstep.

👗 Hang with Care: When you let your alpaca garment air, give it the royal treatment. Support it well to prevent any deformation – the weight may increase slightly due to absorbed vapor. A coat hanger works wonders, just ensure even distribution.

☀️ Guard Against Sunlight: If your alpaca gem is basking outdoors or by the window, shield it from direct sunlight. Too much sun can make those fibers go brittle, leading to loss of luster and color. Let's keep that alpaca glow intact!

Give your alpaca darlings the care they deserve, and they'll continue to wrap you in warmth and coziness. Here's to fresh vibes and happy alpaca adventures! 🌈🦙💖
