Bolivian Handwoven Alpaca Shawl

This shawl is handwoven from 100% Alpaca wool. The alpaca is a llama looking beast that has some super-soft wool type fur, and this shawl shows it off in all it's glory. Absolutely gorgeous. Just as soft as can be, not scratchy like regular sheep wool. A natural creamy white, can be dyed by our Jacquard Acid Dyes to any shade you desire. Just remember to treat these like wool when dyeing - if you throw them into a washing machine, you will get maximum shrinkage, felting and very tangled fringes! This is also another fair trade product from Bolivia, so the Bolivians get almost every penny of every purchase. Considering what handwoven wool shawls go for, this shawl, at these prices is just a steal.

In response to requests, we had the size of the shawl increased.The Bolivian Handwoven Alpaca Shawl is now 24" wide X 72" long with a 6.25" fringe. It makes for a very luxurious garment. Of course it also increases the cost, but still a major bargain!
