DE COLORES wool TWO TONE leg warmers made of 100% baby alpaca
What could be better than warm lower legs on a cold day? Exactly. That is why we are so happy with these two-tone alpaca leg warmers from De Colores. Soft, warm, ethically made, and also very beautiful to look at. These are the kinds of accessories you put on "for a moment" and then don't want to take off for the rest of the winter.
Why baby alpaca is such a game changer
These leg warmers are made of 100% baby alpaca wool. And no, that doesn't mean babies are involved, but that the wool comes from the very first, finest shearing. The result? A fiber that is warmer than regular wool, but lighter, more supple and above all: it doesn't itch. What I often hear in the store is: “Oh… this feels really soft.” And that is true.
Stretchy, comfortable and for everyone
Thanks to the ribbed structure, these leg warmers are wonderfully stretchy. Narrow calves, wider calves, over leggings, tights or even over tight pants: they adjust themselves without pinching. They are about 40 cm long and stay in place, even if you move a lot. Unisex, and also very nice for people who are easily bothered by drafts along their lower legs.
Two tone: subtle but special
This version has two shades that flow beautifully into each other. That gives it just a bit more depth and character than a solid color. You can see that clearly in the photo. Extra fun: we also have wool hats in the same two-tone series, so mixing and matching is allowed. Highly encouraged, in fact.
Fairly made in Peru
De Colores works together with Fairtrade certified workshops in Arequipa, in the south of Peru. A large part of the production chain remains there, from fiber to final product. The alpacas live in animal-friendly conditions and the makers receive a fair price for their craftsmanship. That’s why. Period.
Washing? Better not
Alpaca wool almost never needs to be washed. Airing it out is usually enough. Do you have to wash it? Then use a special alpaca detergent like Washpaca. That is mild and keeps the fiber looking good. In practice: the less you wash, the longer they stay beautiful.
