Alpaca Fiber

What is so special about alpaca fiber?

• Alpaca fiber is incredibly soft, durable, light weight and is internationally recognized as one of the finest fibers in the world today.
• Alpaca’s thermal properties make its fiber amazingly warm. Alpaca fiber contains microscopic air pockets, which provide excellent insulation.
• Alpaca is so breathable and comfortable that it does not cause an itching sensation like many other types of wool.
• Alpaca bears minimal lanoline, making it nearly hypoallergenic.
• Alpaca is the only animal species worldwide whose hair naturally displays a wide array of colors (up to 22), going from black to white, through different shades of brown and gray.
• Alpaca possesses great flexibility and resistance to traction.
• Alpaca maintains its appearance over time.
• Alpaca is lighter in weight than any other wool.
