Samantha Holmes Size 4 - 7 Ivory Ribbed Alpaca Socks
Samantha Holmes supports slow fashion, sustainable living and ethical trade.
Lovingly knitted in Peru for Samantha Holmes by an expert team of skilled artisans, this exquisite Nordic style blanket is crafted in a soft, durable alpaca and lambs wool blend and boasts not only luxurious material, but also a touch of humour with its update on the traditional fair isle design - spot the alpacas!
Gently felted for a snag-proof finish, the pattern is expertly reversed on the under side (no floaters like you usually get with Fair Isle knitting) and the finished product is durable, warm and very beautiful. The blanket looks most impressive draped over the sofa or at the end of the bed but is practical too and is perfect for picnics and festivals, travelling and star gazing.
This superb Fair Isle Blanket also makes an ideal gift for a new born - perfect as a cot blanket or simply for wrapping around baby.

Alpaca improves with age and Samantha Holmes products will not always feel as soft and supple when new as they will with continued wear. A cool handwash (30º) with a mild detergent such as baby shampoo is recommended. Wash for no more than 5 minutes. Rinse in lukewarm water, always pressing, not wringing the fabric. Wrap the item in a clean dry towel to absorb excess moisture. Reshape as necessary and lay flat to dry. Do not hang your wet alpaca garment as it will stretch.
