The Gentleman's Irish Tweed Scarf

Crafted by traditional artisans at Muckross House, a Victorian mansion set within Ireland's Killarney National Park, this is the gentleman's 100% alpaca tweed scarf. Unlike traditional tweed, which uses coarse wool that can be rough and uncomfortable, this impeccably soft garment is made from pure alpaca yarn spun exclusively for this County Kerry atelier. The luxury fiber is as cozy as cashmere yet three times stronger than sheep's wool, so it can withstand daily wearings without pilling or fraying. Fleecy instead of itchy, the alpaca¿s hollow hairs trap heat, providing superior insulation against a chilly Atlantic wind. Each scarf is individually woven on a 200-year-old Harris loom, a vintage tool that yields a distinctive loose texture and a selvage edge that prevents unraveling. Finished with hand-knotted fringe. Brown. 68" L x 12" W. (1 1/2 lbs.)
