Kara, a young female from the KerLa Alpaca Farm.
> A word from from Christel, breeder at the KerLa Alpaca Farm (53):
"One of the first females born in my farm, with a magnificent gray coat (very rare ten years ago), dense and fine fleece. She's a proud large female with intense eyes, hyper-sensitive, and with an intense character as well, sometimes irritable or almost tender depending on the moment. Not always easy to handle, but with rare intelligence. Her amusing little habit: a true guardian of the herd, she's always the first to approach a visitor. She walks up to them boldly, fixing them with her expressive eyes, head held high, then extends her head to touch noses with them, deciding if this human is worth her interest... She's so impressive that usually, by this stage, the subject of her interest has already backed away several steps! A superb mother who gave me very beautiful babies, including an excellent stallion, the handsome PIXEL. She has been with another farm in the south of France since 2019."> Weight of the original fleece: 1.1 kg (sorted fibers)
> Estimated size: approximately 62 x 184 cm (+/- 10%)
As each blanket is made to order, we are able to give you an estimation of the size of the final piece, calculated from the weight of wool available after shearing.
> Manufacturing: Plaid entirely produced in western France, between Clermont-Créans, Plouguernével, Laval, and La Flèche, within a radius of less than 300 km.
Despite all the care taken during the various stages of production, some pieces may have differences.
> Knit: Knit Merveilleuse, double-sided, openwork
In a classic retro style, dear to our house, our knit has been developed exclusively to enhance the fibers of our exceptional alpaca wool. If you would like to see the effect of the Knit Merveilleuse, we invite you to discover the behind-the-scenes of the production of our prototype here> Personalization: Each unique piece is embroidered with champagne gold thread with the name of the animal from which it originates.
