Naturally Yours • 81 Broadway
Naturally Yours prides itself on carrying natural fiber clothing as well as fair trade garments. This time of year their big seller is Alpaca! With the colder months approaching, why not snuggle up in a nice warm alpaca sweater or alpaca accessories such as socks, gloves, hats or scarves? Naturally Yours deals directly with Peruvian importers for their alpaca items so they can keep prices low. Alpaca is the third warmest natural fiber on the face of the earth due to it’s hollow core fiber. The hollow core gives it an extra insulating factor without the bulk, so even though it’s lightweight, it is very warm. Stop in to see Naturally Yours’ offerings at 81 Broadway.”
