Brume Weaving Kit – Baby Alpaca Scarf for 4-Shaft Looms
Some weaving projects are designed to teach a new technique. Others are created simply for the pleasure of weaving something beautiful that you will enjoy wearing for years.
Brume belongs to the second category.
This elegant scarf showcases three carefully coordinated colours of Baby Alpaca yarn. Depending on the colour combination you choose, the finished scarf can feature subtle tonal transitions or stronger contrasts, giving each version its own unique personality.
Woven in a classic twill structure on a 4-shaft loom, Brume combines timeless design with exceptional softness and beautiful drape. It is a project that is just as enjoyable to weave as it is to wear.

Why Baby Alpaca?
Baby Alpaca is prized by weavers around the world for its remarkable softness, light weight and elegant drape.
Despite its name, Baby Alpaca does not come from young animals. It refers to the finest fibres selected from adult alpacas, known for their exceptional softness and luxurious feel.
Warm without being heavy, Baby Alpaca produces scarves that are comfortable to wear while maintaining an elegant fluidity.
The yarn included in this kit is spun in Peru and is OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring it meets strict standards regarding harmful substances.
