"Blue baby alpaca hat for her baby blues"
I bought this as a gift for my wife. She requested an alpaca hat - in blue - to match a blue coat she had. I doubted if one was available, but went looking. I needed dimension specs, as she needs something fairly large. Does she like it?: I love my beautiful new hat! The denim color is rich, and the baby alpaca fibers are so soft -- those who find other wool itchy enjoy relief with alpaca. The hats design adds to its beauty, with panels of one stitch alternating with bands of another stitch -- this helps create comfortable grip that keeps the masterful stitching aligned when the hat is worn. Also, the hat has no seam, which adds to the comfort and appearance. I love the little floral finish, too, and appreciate that the larger size is available (for those of us outside the one size fits all zone). This hat evokes warmth: warm clothing in cold weather, warm regard for the artist, and warm feelings for the giver, who searched until he found the perfect hat. Sincerely,Susan

"Soft, but flimsy"
Looks good in photo, and I loved the color, but even though it had the soft feel of alpaca, it was very thin yarn for the price, and also too large for my head. Returned it.

"Beautiful Handmade Hat"
This is my new go to hat. The color is deep and rich and the workmanship is beautiful. Alpaca wool is the best.

"Please make this great quality in larger size"
The knitting is lovely and the alpaca is so soft. The blue color is perfect. I just wish it could be larger. Please make some larger size hats with the same great look and feel! ( I would give this a 9 if the 10 point scale were used. And the deducted point is only for the size.)
Best Uses
- Chilly weather that is not terribly cold

"Comfortable, thick and warm"
These are such high quality! They are my favorite fingerless, because they are .3LB, so heavier than most, and sturdier and warmer. Also, the thumb is not constricting. It fits well. And it is definitely preferable to have a real thumb stitched in, rather than just a slit. Thank you, Elvia!

"LOVE IT!"
This hat is absolutely beautiful and my new favorite winter accessory. I moved to a colder region and will need this in the winter. So happy that it is even more beautiful than I hoped it would be. I love the color and it is very comfortable wool.
