Hey there! So, you've got some cosy Alpaca goodies to take care of, huh? Well, let me tell you, looking after these beauties is a piece of cake! Alpaca garments are not just wonderfully warm and soft, but they also come with a nifty little feature - their antibacterial properties mean they don't get stinky like other fabrics. That means less washing and more wearing!

Now, let's break it down so you know exactly how to pamper your alpaca pieces and remember to read our detailed instructions on how to hand wash at the bottom of this section. Also, 😊 note which items must be dry cleaned. Read the label on your goodies:

• Alpaca Socks: Gentle machine or hand wash in cold water. Air dry to keep them feeling fresh and cosy. Tip: Wash them inside out!

• Alpaca woven throws and scarves: Dry clean only. Leave it to the experts to keep your throw looking as good as new.

• Goodies knitted with our Alpaca yarns: Give them a gentle hand wash in cold water to keep them clean and ready for your next crafting project.

AH, HAND WASHING…

… your loved alpaca garment is like giving it a warm, cosy hug! Let's walk through this delightful process together, shall we? Get ready to experience the soothing satisfaction of caring for your alpaca piece by hand:

Step 1: Prep Time
Gather your supplies: a clean basin or sink, some mild detergent (opt for something gentle), and cold water. It's like gathering your ingredients for a spa day for your garment!

Step 2: Soak and Suds
Fill your basin with cold water and add a dollop of that gentle detergent. Swish it around to create some luxurious suds. Now, gently place your alpaca garment into the water, letting it soak up the goodness.

Step 3: Soft Massage
Treat your alpaca piece to a gentle massage. Gently press and squeeze the fabric, paying extra attention to any spots that need a little extra love. Just imagine you're giving it a spa treatment!

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat
Once your garment has soaked up all that bubbly goodness, it's time to rinse away the suds. Fill your basin with fresh, clean water and give your alpaca piece a nice, refreshing rinse. Ahh, doesn't that feel refreshing?

Step 5: Gentle Squeeze
After rinsing, gently squeeze out any excess water from your alpaca garment. Be gentle, like you're giving it a little squeeze goodbye before it goes to dry.

Step 6: Air Dry with Love, roll and refresh
Instead of simply laying your alpaca piece flat on a clean towel, here's a little trick to speed up the drying process and ensure your garment stays in tip-top shape: gently roll your alpaca piece in the clean towel, pressing down lightly to absorb excess moisture. Once you've done that, unroll the garment and replace the towel with a fresh, dry one. Lay your alpaca piece flat on the new towel, reshaping it gently if needed. Now, let it bask in the fresh air and indirect natural sunlight, soaking up all that goodness!

Step 7: Revel in the Results
Once your alpaca garment is dry and ready to wear, take a moment to admire your handiwork. Doesn't it look and feel fabulous? You've just given your alpaca piece the VIP treatment it deserves!

See, wasn't that a satisfying experience? Hand washing isn't just about getting your garment clean—it's about showing it some love and care and enjoying the process every step of the way. So go ahead, embrace the beauty of hand washing, and let your alpaca pieces shine! 🌟
