Size chart
Our garments are knitted in alpaca yarn in workshops in Cusco. The figures in these charts are body measurements, not garment measurements: measure yourself and choose the size whose range contains your figures. If you fall between two sizes, the larger one gives the relaxed fit that suits alpaca knitwear best.

Capes, ponchos and ruanas
These are one-size pieces, designed to fall loosely over the body. Instead of a size, they are described by two garment measurements, which you will find on each product page.
Width
From one edge to the other, with the garment laid flat. It determines how far the piece covers the arms.
Length
From the shoulder to the bottom edge. It determines where the garment ends on the body.
Scarves, shawls and blankets
One size. Each product page states the exact length and width of the piece along with its weight, because in alpaca knitwear the weight tells you as much about warmth as the measurements do.
How to take your measurements
Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and your arms relaxed.
Waist
Measure the narrowest part of the torso, just above the navel. Do not hold your stomach in.
Hip
Measure around the fullest part of the hips, standing with your feet together.
Use a flexible tape measure over light clothing. The tape should rest against the body without tightening: if it leaves a mark, it is too tight.
