Frequently Asked Questions

1. If my threads arrived with some damage or error, is there a possibility of exchange?

If damage to the material or an error in shipping is confirmed, we will manage the respective change.

2. What are the washing and/or care recommendations for your threads?

Tips you should follow:

  • HAND WASH: the best way to keep your Alpaca garment in perfect condition is to wash it by hand .
  • ATTENTION: Alpaca garments are made of natural fibers and are very delicate, so the clothing requires special attention when washing.
  • COLD WATER: To start, fill a container with cold water and carefully immerse the garment in the water.
  • MILD SHAMPOO: apply mild shampoo and gently rub the garment with your hands.
  • SOAK: Soak in water for two or three minutes, then rinse with cold water.
  • Wringing: To drain excess water from the garment, place a towel on a flat surface, then stretch the garment over it, and finally roll up the towel and garment. This way, the water will drain without damaging the Alpaca garment.
  • CAUTION: To prevent the garment from shrinking or pilling, avoid contact with hot water and avoid wringing or squeezing the garment dry.
  • DRY IN THE SHADE: To preserve the original colour of your garment, avoid drying it in direct sunlight, dry it in the shade.
  • DRY CLEAN: You can dry clean your alpaca garments without any problem.

Practices to avoid:

  • WASHING MACHINE: never use a washing machine.
  • DRYER: Never use a dryer .
  • BLEACH: Never use bleach or chlorine bleach.
  • IRON: Alpaca fiber is very sensitive, it should never be ironed.
  • HANGERS: Never hang your wet Alpaca garment, if you do so it will stretch and lose its original shape.
  • SUNLIGHT: The fabric should not be exposed directly to sunlight.
