Royal Alpaca Inka Ñawi Scarf
Weight: 140 gr. | Material: 100% AIA certified Royal Alpaca | L: 200 cm - H: 30 cm
Inka Ñawi means “eye of the Inca” in Quechua—and the vicuña color embodies that gaze: serene, deep, with the warmth of the natural tone produced by alpacas without any dye intervention. It is the color closest to the fiber's origin, and in Royal Alpaca, that purity becomes even more evident to the touch.
Woven from 100% Peruvian Royal Alpaca certified by the International Alpaca Association (AIA), this scarf is made with the highest quality fiber in the alpaca world: less than 19 microns in diameter, extremely soft, hypoallergenic, lanolin-free, and with thermoregulatory properties that make it comfortable in any season.
Hand-finished by Peruvian artisans specialized in the Andean textile tradition, each piece reflects hours of work applied to a fiber that deserves such care.
How to wear it: Vicuña is the warmest and most versatile neutral in any wardrobe. It works with absolutely everything, and in earth tones, it creates especially harmonious combinations. Also ideal for travelers looking for a single accessory that fits into any context.
Care: Hand wash with cold water and mild wool detergent. Do not wring. Dry flat.
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.
Unsure between two sizes, or do you need the exact measurements of a piece? Write to us and we will send you the garment’s real measurements.
