Our new Alpaca Slouch Beanie has been a long time in the making!
We've taken some of our softest U.S. Grown Alpaca and used it to create this unique and modern knit hat. The slouch beanie has that stylish loose look on the top while still keeping your head warm in a wide range of conditions.
The headband area features a microfleece lining, keeping the hat snug on your head and blocking wind on your forehead, ears, and neck. The top of the hat stays loose and breathable so you don't get too hot while staying active in the great outdoors.
Designed by NEAFP from the ground up to be as stylish as it is warm and cozy using alpaca fiber grown in the USA.
The hat features our new "Mountain Eve" knit pattern using naturally colored alpaca yarn to create the contrasting design.
Before we wash our fiber, we blow out the dust! How much dust? This video shows how the dust and second cuts we miss during skirting come right out. Alpacas love to roll in a dust bath. Blowing out the fiber after skirting reduces the amount of water we use. It's that much less dust in our products and saves wear and tear on our equipment.

How to care for your alpaca fiber products
Alpaca Fiber Care Tips
Alpaca fiber is naturally antimicrobial, so it doesn't need to be washed often.
When it does need a good clean, wash on a gentle cool cycle (preferable a wool cycle if your machine has one) with a mild detergent, or hand wash.
For best results, turn your garment inside out before washing.
The best way to dry your alpaca garment is just to lay it out on a flat surface to air-dry.
