Hand-knit textures revel in the yana (the Quechua word for "black") hue of this hat. Alfredo Falcon crafts the piece from 100% alpaca, its subdued design imbued with Peruvian style. The alpaca thrives at the extraordinarily high altitudes of the Andes, resulting in a fiber of unparalleled softness and warmth. A hip accessory for the winter wardrobe.

My husband loves it!”

Theres nothing like alpaca, even better than cashmere. And when the hat is beautifully made and you have absolute confidence in the seller, its a cinch to be a great purchase--which it was. I have so much respect for the artisans who keep the ancient crafts alive. Thank you!

Beautiful Hat for the Cold Weather”

Very comfortable and warm hat. The 100% natural alpaca is a beautiful weave. The length of the hat can be worn over the ears for cold weather or like a cap for warmer weather.

Pleased”

Exactly what you would expect from an alpaca watch cap. Lightweight, soft and warm. Much lighter than my cashmere or wool caps. Fine, very fine workmanship. Would definitely recommend.

Very light grey hat”

This hat made from alpaca knit is soft and pleasure to touch. On Novica website, hats color looks more lighter, than I received. It is light grey in reality. The hat has correct measurements and fit very well. But unfortunately, the hats texture is thin and very delicate. Therefore, it can be worn during autumn, but not during the cold winter.This hat would not to keep you toasty warm as it says on description Comfy in Grey.

You can wear this hat anywhere, it looks nice
