Inspired by soft skies and open air, Cloudline is a calming wash of blue with gentle variations created through the use of plant-based dyes. Handwoven from merino and alpaca fibres, it offers unparalleled warmth with a feather-light touch. Alpaca brings a silky softness and natural temperature regulation, while merino lends strength and cosy insulation.

Care Instructions for Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Ponchos
Your Ashculme Textiles poncho is handwoven with care using a luxurious blend of merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas. Naturally dyed with foraged plant materials, each piece is one-of-a-kind and made to last when treated gently.
To keep your poncho looking and feeling its best, follow these simple care steps:
Washing:

Hand wash only, in cool water using a gentle wool-safe detergent.

Do not soak for extended periods, and avoid harsh agitation or wringing.

Gently press out excess water without twisting or scrubbing.

Drying:

Lay flat on a clean towel and roll to remove moisture.

Reshape if needed, and allow to air dry flat out of direct sunlight or heat sources.

Storing:

Fold loosely and store in a cool, dry place.

Avoid hanging for long periods, as this may distort the shape over time.

To deter moths, use natural repellents like cedarwood blocks or lavender sachets.

Please avoid:

Machine washing or tumble drying.

Bleach, stain removers, or fabric softeners.

Ironing directly (use a steamer at a safe distance if needed).

These garments are made to be cherished—soft, warm, and naturally breathable. With a little care, your poncho will remain a timeless and wearable piece of slow fashion for many seasons to come.
