Wrap yourself in the softness of Andean tradition. This gray alpaca-blend scarf from Royal Knit Peru combines 89% alpaca with 11% polyamide for a plush surface that drapes beautifully without weight. At 80 by 24 inches, it's generously sized for layering across your shoulders or styling as an open wrap, and its neutral gray works seamlessly with bold patterns and solid tones alike.
Each piece is handmade in Peru by artisans who carry forward generations of textile knowledge, tracing the alpaca from the highland herds into finished fabric. The broad weave creates soft, natural folds rather than rigid structure, giving you effortless elegance whether you're dressing it up or keeping it casual.
Unisex in design, this scarf suits any wardrobe. Care for it with a gentle hand wash in cold water using mild detergent, then reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Keep it ready beside your favorite coat—a sustainable layer that adapts to the seasons and improves with time.

Artisan Profile
In the earliest Peruvian history, you will find examples of the bond between the Incas and Alpacas. The Incas placed a higher value on alpaca fiber than gold or silver. The knowledge and craftsmanship of spinning and knitting have been passed down from generation to generation, resulting in the rich, diverse textile heritage of Peru. New patterns are combined with traditional methods, giving an innovative touch without losing the ethical heritage.
The alpaca live mostly without any boundaries in the highlands of the Peruvian Andes and are not harmed during the shearing process. Their soft padded feet are gentle on the grass terrain and they graze without destroying the root system of the area. Alpaca is the only animal that produces up to 28 natural colors and can be blended into an infinite array of natural shades from inky black to warm chestnuts and snowy white. It is easily dyed in any color and always retains its natural luster.
Alpaca is supple and smooth to the touch and because of the featherweight, it’s ultra-light. Alpaca is softer than cashmere and warmer and stronger than lamb’s wool. It contains microscopic air pockets which create lightweight clothing with excellent insulating properties. It is a completely natural fiber and there is no use of harsh chemicals in production.
