This isn't just a hat; it's a piece of artisan craftsmanship. Handmade in Peru by artisan Alfredo Falcón in partnership with NOVICA and National Geographic, this beanie is knitted from incredibly soft 100% baby alpaca wool. The design is called 'Brown Mountain Roads,' featuring beautiful cable stitches that look like winding paths. Alpaca wool is warmer than sheep's wool, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. The wide band fits snugly to keep out the winter chill. It's very soft to the touch and has a timeless, rustic style. Because it's handmade, each one is unique. It comes with a story card about the artisan. For care, it's best to hand wash or dry clean. A truly special, fair-trade gift for someone who appreciates quality, warmth, and a story behind what they wear.
