Finished with twisted fringes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat undyed means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colours here are the alpaca's own — greys, browns, natural cream and white, straight from the fleece with no dye applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat matters for two reasons. Undyed fibre keeps more of its natural softness, because dyeing is a chemical process that stiffens fibres slightly. And the shades are subtler than dyed equivalents, which is why they sit well against almost anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy alpaca rather than wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlpaca is warmer than sheep's wool for the same weight, because the fibre is hollow and traps more air. It also has \u003cstrong\u003eno lanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the compound most people react to in wool — so if wool makes you itch, alpaca generally will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brushed finish raises the surface fibres, which is what gives it the softness you notice immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarm without bulk\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical advantage. This is warm enough for a cold morning without the volume of a chunky knit scarf, so it works under a coat collar rather than fighting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpaca, undyed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed finish with twisted fringes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey, white, natural and brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry clean, or hand wash in cool water. \u003cstrong\u003eLay flat to dry\u003c\/strong\u003e — never hang a wet alpaca scarf, it will stretch and not recover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lavender Hill Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Grey \/ One Size","offer_id":64561196597617,"sku":"69a43aa80a5b6","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ One Size","offer_id":64561196630385,"sku":"69a43aabf1bb6","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural \/ One Size","offer_id":64561196663153,"sku":"69a43aaa2fb1b","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ One Size","offer_id":64561196695921,"sku":"69a43aa5b1e6b","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3917\/7073\/files\/Alpaca_Scarf.webp?v=1788911198","url":"https:\/\/www.flipbuy.co.uk\/products\/alpaca-plaid-scarf","provider":"FlipBuy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
