3-ply North American Paco-Vicuña Scarf, over sized
A generously sized scarf of warm and incredibly soft North American Paco-Vicuña. This one is hand spun 3-ply from different animals ranging 15-17 micron. I made it extra large using all the yarn I made, as I do not plan to spin 3-ply again.

PRODUCT INFO
North American Paco-Vicuña and Alpacas are both decendants from the Vicuñas. PVs, as they often are called, are a more primitive development than modern day Alpacas, and retain most of the wonderful fiber traits of vicuñas. Dehaired, combed, spun, and woven by hand.
CARE
Rough use and friction will stress and wear down any garment. I tend to work with delicate fibers, that apparently wears faster and are therefore not very suitable use for hard labor. Next to skin soft, though!!! And warm. When I spin by hand, I make what is referred to as worsted spun yarn, as opposed to woolen spun. Worsted is the more durable yarn, to make sure it will last you a long time under normal use.
- Do not dry clean or use chlorine, oxyclean, etc.! Most chemicals destroy the protein in animal fibers.
- Soak and wash gently in lukewarm water by hand, with baby shampoo or mild detergent. Use hair conditioner or regular softener if desired.
- Do not wring, or twist like a washcloth. It will twist and distort the fabric. Gently squeeze the excess water.
- Lay flat on a big towel, roll it up, and squeeze to remove the water.
- Lay flat to dry.
- Steam or gently press with damp cloth if you want to touch up appearance.
