Soft Alpaca Shawls: ...an Accessory To Die For!
Having a piece of clothing is to die for especially in the mountains of Andes in South America. This clothing is derived from the animal's fibers, one of the natural fibers acquired from them. These are a distant relative of camels that is closely related to llamas, another animal popular in Andes Mountains.
An alpaca fiber is hailed to be the Andes’ gold. It is regarded to be a superior natural fiber because of its superb softness and strength. Those two qualities make the fiber be of high-quality. Alpaca fibers provide several more times warmth than a wool can give and an equal comfort and softness a cashmere can give. The clothing made from alpaca fiber is also considered to last long because of the fiber’s strength and durability.
Alpaca clothing mainly consists of sweaters, socks, gloves, mittens, scarves and shawls. The fibers also produces blankets and pillow cases but clothing dominates the market.
Lets cover a piece of clothing that's soft..
A shawl is usually worn by ladies with their evening or formal attire. It is not unusual to feel cold when donning a gown or dress in the evening. Most evening wear bares a woman’s shoulders, arms and back which are all susceptible to cold. To make matters worse, jackets are deemed inappropriate in formal occasions.
A good way to protect those upper body parts from freezing is draping a shawl over them. A shawl, even lightweight, can provide the warmth the body needed during the night. Its fiber structure has the thermal abilities that can trap or generate heat.
The people from South America who make a living through alpacas has realized the women’s need for shawls that they decided to add soft alpaca shawls in their list. This type of shawls similar to alpaca clothing are made of high-quality and extremely fine alpaca fibers. This makes the shawls overly smooth and soft that is very pleasing to wear.
Sticking to the shawls’ purpose, soft alpaca shawls...provide the much needed warmth to the wearers without the bulk. Actually it warms the wearer better than any other kinds of shawls because of the alpaca fibers’ thermal capacities.
The shawl also adds glamour and sophistication to an evening wear. It is available in several colors and designs plus the fine texture of the alpaca fiber makes the shawl stand out in the night.
