The HEIRLOOM LACE Booties, an heirloom treasure. A seamless knit design featuring an heirloom lace pattern with a contrasting scalloped edge detail and i-cord ties to keep secure. A true keepsake. Hand knitted from 100% Alpaca, these booties are ethically handcrafted in South America according to Fair Trade principles. Combining traditional methods of craftmanship with modern design, these pieces are truly unique heirloom items. Alpaca is a luxurious fibre that is so soft to touch, the strands are smooth and it has the most wonderful silky sheen. Garments produced from alpaca are extremely durable; the strength of the fibre reduces the chance of stretching and it is also resistant to pilling. If cared for correctly, your hand knit will last a lifetime! Alpaca is also a natural thermostat; the fibre is breathable with an insulating nature. It keeps body heat in, in cooler temperatures and releases it in the warmer temperatures. It's also non-flammable and due to alpaca’s water-resistant properties, you can simply dab away any spills. Grease and oil don’t spot as easily either. Alpaca is naturally hypo-allergenic; it is free of lanolin that is present in wool. Therefore it is less irritating to the skin as it doesn’t scratch or “prickle” the skin like wool products can. Care Instructions: Cold Hand Wash. Dry Flat. Do not Bleach.100% Alpaca Hand-knitted in Bolivia AW00708
