Alpaca Wool Nutmeg Shawl (Peru)

Product Features

The gentle tone of nutmeg distinguishes this elegant shawl by Jorge Priori
Working in luxurious baby alpaca wool, he weaves enchanting textures
Finished with hand-knotted fringe
Renowned for its thermal qualities, alpaca is lightweight yet while possessing an incredible capacity for heat retention

The Story Behind the Mirror

Priori seeks to preserve through his work a tradition that began centuries ago, during the Inca empire. The Incas gave the alpaca an important place in society and religion; alpaca fiber was so highly treasured it was reserved for Inca royalty.

'Our clothes and blankets are created with the 'combed' technique which uses threads of different length and width, with the intention of recreating the type of weave the Incas favored,' explains Priori.

I was surprised by how very soft and delicate the shaw is. The pattern and weave is finely made. Highly recommend.
