This silky-smooth and warm cot blanket is sure to become your little one's favourite. We can vouch for this personally! It's the ideal gift for any new-born baby, and is available with a blue edging for boys, a pink for girls, or an undyed neutral shade if you prefer. The simple, timeless design shows off the beauty of the buttery-soft and slightly lustrous yarn.

Alpaca was known as the Gold of the Incas and treasured by the Inca Royal Family for its strength, lustre, and unbeatable softness. Originally from the Andes, Alpaca wool is hollow, so the fleeces are uniquely light and warm. Lanolin-free and with no 'prickle factor', it's ideal for babies and sensitive skin. Alpaca is pure luxury, especially when the wool comes from extremely fine-haired baby animals as this does.

Alpacas are not bred or killed for their fur. They can live for 20 years, promising a lifetime of shearing potential of far greater value than a single pelt. Our Alpaca products are fairly traded. Their production is a joint venture between a small family company here in Scotland and independent knitters in south Peru, where the animals thrive.
