About This Infinity Scarf
The Infinity Scarf is knitted in small batches by artisan families across the Peruvian highlands, using alpaca fiber spun from the annual spring shearing. Each piece passes through several hands: shearing in the altiplano, hand-sorting by fiber grade, spinning into yarn, dyeing with low-impact colorfast dyes, and finishing by knitters who often work from home studios in and around Cusco, Puno, and Arequipa. That distributed production model keeps craftsmanship alive in villages where textiles have been a household trade for generations.
What makes premium alpaca accessories worth the price is longevity. A properly cared-for alpaca accessory lasts a decade or longer — our oldest customer pieces date back to 2005 and still see regular rotation. Compare that to synthetic blends that pill and thin within two or three seasons, or cashmere accessories that stretch out of shape faster than alpaca. The cost-per-wear math favors alpaca once you factor in the lifespan.
Material & Construction
Inca Maine sources alpaca fiber from herds in the Peruvian Andes, where alpacas have been raised since before the Inca civilization. Our workshops work exclusively with alpaca fiber rather than synthetic blends, and we label each piece with its fiber grade so you know whether you are buying royal, baby, or standard alpaca. For a deeper look at fiber grades and the science behind alpaca wool, read our alpaca fiber guide.
Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool-safe detergent, or dry-clean seasonally. Never wring or twist the fabric — roll it in a clean towel to remove excess water, then reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Store folded (not hung) in a breathable cotton bag with cedar or lavender to deter moths.
