What is an Alpaca

Is a long-haired domesticated South American mammal related to the llama, valued for its wool.

Why use Alpaca fibre?

Alpaca has infinite benefits and advantages:

Hypoallergenic (Alpaca fibre does not contain lanolin meaning that garments made using pure (100%) alpaca retain that quality. Alpaca fibre is therefore especially good for babies, children and those with sensitive skin).
Extremely durable
As soft yet finer than cashmere
Excellent thermal qualities
Lightweight and lustrous handling
Lacks the ‘prickle factor’ associated with wool
Resistant to wrinkling
Does not retain water
Resistant to stains
Resistant to odours
Fire Resistant
Wicks away body moisture
Resistant to solar radiation
Easy to clean
Naturally antibacterial (Because lanolin is absent from alpaca fibre, pure alpaca clothing repels dust mites and other organic matter which might trigger allergies).
