This cap is made by hand, starting with spinning the alpaca and lama wool that is used to knit it by hand, which takes quite a bit of time. Although hand spinning produces a more irregular, less soft knitted garment than the one produced mechanically; nevertheless it is still just as warm. The outside of the cap is combed when it is completed which hides the stitches and makes it softer. The cap also has a pompon on top with ear extensions typical of the Andean chullo (cap) that can be tied under the chin.
With a plain color and mostly made from Andean alpaca wool, it is very warm; the natural hues will go with any garment, whether casual or more sophisticated. When fall arrives, this cap will be your best ally.

Thinner than I expected
This cap is large enough to fit my oversize head. I'm waiting for the return of cold weather to see how well it works. May need to use a liner. Worried about washing it. We'll see. If it works in the Andes, it should work here, but the trouble is there is not thatch on my roof.
Super soft and light!
Excellent hat, nice coverage for cold days. Got the gray, color is exacly as pictured. Great fit too!
