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 hat's 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"
sky turned snowflake
i am particular about hats and wear them well. i find many berets to be skimpy...too tight and bereft of the flow a proper amount of fabric gives. and this fabric is so airy and light...not a heavy insulating hat. but the alpaca is so fine that it weaves a wispy warmth about your locks... delicate and so soft! the nature motif is evident and so pleasing. i get a lot of compliments when i don this truly azure topper!
