knit hat

Vibrant lines of red, blue, black, brown and grey hues compose a stylish creation from Peru. Artisan Briseida Huete works with 100% alpaca yarns to create this cozy knit hat that captures the region's unique style. Made with soft materials, the accessory also hides a graceful design on the reverse side, featuring a palette of blue and ivory hues.

In beautifully contrasting colors of crimson and eggshell achieved with natural dyes, a lovely Peruvian chullo hat is knit by hand of soft baby alpaca wool. By Maria Teresa Tejada, it features a bold red stripe in an alpaca blend, necessary to achieve the desired color. A pompom at the top and long tassels at the ear flaps completes the design. Baby alpaca refers to the fine fleece from the season's first shearing.
