Did you know there is a natural fiber that is five times warmer than wool and seven times stronger?

As I re-do my wardrobe, I’m investing more natural fibers and multi-functional pieces that will help keep my wardrobe from getting out of hand. My goal is as close to a minimalist wardrobe as possible while still allowing me to be stylish. I will never be happy with just black pants and a white shirt. I need color and accessories to be happy. This post is sponsored and a product was provided, but the story is my own.

Alpaca wool is am amazing material. I still remember learning about it in my textiles class!
It really is and so soft!
Their products are lovely. I particularly like their scarves.
I would give my husband an amazing holiday gift of the Old Sample Textile Pullover Sweater – I am just now sure which color right now as I do love both. My husband LOVES sweaters and looks forward to winter so he can wear them. He looks handsome in them too. He needs something really nice this year!
I love the 1000 STEPS THROW. absolutely beautiful!
I had to laugh since my dad only wore black trousers and a white long sleeve, buttoned shirt, every day of his life. He was an engineer and a creature of routine, and I believe still is, which probably drives my mom batty. Anyway, I love the scarf you featured and had to dig out mine when the temps got colder here in Cali. I don’t have any alpaca wool scarves and this company is new to me. I had no idea it was stronger than wool, but I do love the colors.
Black and white are great base colors but I definitely need to add colors too!
The blue baby alpaca scarf is just lovely. I have several alpaca pieces and they are so soft and warm.
Oh that Cheerful Poncho with Fringe is my favorite item I think! Your scarf is gorgeous too though and there are so many beautiful items on their website.
My family lives in NY and CT so I’m always looking for new items to keep me warm when I go to visit them. I will have to check out the SOL Alpaca store and sign up for their newsletter.
Definitely. Make sure you enter for the higher discount!
I’ve actually never heard of this company but that scarf is beautiful! It looks like it would keep me nice and warm during these horrible cold winters. Might add it to my Christmas wish list 🙂
It really is, Sarah!
That scarf definitely provides a splash of color and makes a statement. Are the scarves soft, or do they have more of a rough feel?
They are super soft, Val. Not like wool that is scratchy at all.
I just got a scarf from SOL Alpaca and cannot believe how light weight and soft it is for being so cozy. Yours is gorgeous! Love the colors!
Thanks so much, Shelley! I can’t wait to see yours!
I’ve seen their products at a store in our mall. It is so soft, but didn’t realize how much warmer it would be!
They really are soft, Scott, and warm too! Great choice for winter!
