Colour

Expertly crafted in Peru using 100% alpaca fibre, Samantha Holmes' long alpaca fingerless mittens provide unparalleled warmth and comfort. The thumbhole ensures a secure fit while the complimentary-coloured rolled trim adds a subtle contrast to the design.

These luxurious mittens are perfect for layering and offer exceptional warmth without the bulk of traditional gloves. Alpaca fibre is three times warmer than sheep's wool, while also boasting a soft, silky texture and resistance to piling.

Length: approx 33cm

  • Conserving traditions

Sustainability Excellence

The alpaca yarn is made in Peru by Inca Tops, a long established company, who source their alpaca fibre ethically and have active social responsibility programmes, investing proceeds back into poorer Peruvian communities. 

Every product is finished by hand in the Samantha Holmes artisan studios in Peru, following a tradition which goes back centuries. The small batch production ensures minimal wastage, attention to detail and consistent quality. 

Alpacas come in 22 recognised shades, ranging from black, grey, brown to cream and white which avoids the need for dyes, and the dyes Samantha Holmes does use are Azo free. Alpacas themselves are well known for their minimal impact on the environment.  They tread lightly with their soft padded feet, produce more fleece than sheep and have efficient grazing habits. Alpaca farming also requires no harsh chemicals.  

Care

A cool handwash (30º) with a mild detergent is recommended. Wash for no more than 5 minutes. Rinse in lukewarm water, always pressing, not wringing the fabric.  Wrap the item in a clean dry towel to absorb excess moisture.  Reshape as necessary and lay flat to dry.  Do not hang your wet alpaca item as it will stretch and become distorted.
