Issue 277 – Hibernatum in Inca Alpaca
|
|
It was a windy, chilly day when we photographed Talitha Kuomi's Hibernatum hat at a recent photo shoot. With a fit somewhere between fitted and slouchy, our model loved it so much that she wore it between shots to keep her ears warm. It's always a great sign when a model doesn't want to take a design off – proving Hibernatum is just as cushy and soft as it looks.

The Yarn
Inca Alpaca is soft, sturdy and very warm--even when wet. Alpaca is a smoother fiber than wool, giving it a luster that many wools lack. It's also a dry fiber; there's no lanolin to worry about if you're one of the folks who reacts to lanolin in wool.
