Key benefits of the 100% alpaca headband
-
Thermoregulation – alpaca keeps you warm when it’s cold and releases excess heat, so your ears don’t overheat.
-
Hypoallergenic – no lanolin = no skin irritation and itching.
-
Lightness and softness – the fluffy fiber does not irritate, and the headband weighs only a few dozen grams.
-
Natural colors – the colors come from the fleece palette, without chemical dyeing.
-
Hand-made – each headband is knitted in our family workshop, so no two pieces are identical.

How to care for an alpaca headband?
-
Air out after heavy use – alpaca naturally freshens up in the air.
-
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle, lanolin-free wool detergent – do not wring, just squeeze lightly.
-
Dry flat, away from heat and sunlight to maintain shape.
-
Store loosely; avoid crushing and overstretching, which can distort the band.
FAQ – frequently asked questions
Does the headband fit any head circumference?
Yes, the band is elastic and adjusts to a circumference of 52–60 cm.
Does alpaca "bite"?
No – alpaca fiber has no stiff scales, so it is much softer than traditional sheep wool.
How to choose a color?
Choose a natural shade to match your jacket or coat; beige and light grays are the most versatile.
Does the headband electrify the hair?
Alpaca has a lower tendency to static than synthetic fibers, minimizing this effect. Furthermore, because it lacks lanolin, it doesn't make hair greasy.
Psst… did you know that ALPAKINO headbands are named after our alpacas? 🙂 Anabel is one of our calmest females, with a delicate fleece and a gentle gaze. Her soft fiber inspires the color "white" – a subtle shade that will brighten even a cloudy day.
