Hand Knit Alpaca Pom Hat

More durable than wool, stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere - here is a hat that stands up to wear. Made of pure alpaca - one of the highest performing technical fibres, and finished with an alpaca fur pom.

For this line of Alpaca apparel, we take you directly to the source: the rural mountainsides of Peru. This hand-woven Alpaca hat is designed to keep you toasty through the coldest of Canadian winters, and cozy when there is no snow on the ground.

Fashioned from one of the world’s softest and sustainable fibres, this artisan-made hat is stretchable but firm in its shape. Suitable for wet weather outings, alpaca has an ability to resist water and, even when damp, provide warmth. The hollow fibres of the alpaca fibre trap air in their core which provides enduring insulation - and is not itchy, like wool can be!

Ideal for hikes, skis, campfires, walks and more. Available in neutral tones to style effortlessly with your outerwear. We’ll provide the hat, you choose where you’re off to next in it.
