Alpaca is one of the world’s most luxurious materials in the clothing industry, which has been overtaken by synthetic fibers. Alpaca is valued in the world of fashion for its special properties:
- Alpaca is a highly ecological and sustainable choice
- Alpaca fiber retains body heat in cooler temperatures and releases it in warm ones
- The silky fiber and long hairs of alpaca wool mat less
- Alpacas are not harmed during the shearing process
- Alpaca fiber has a silky, soft, supple, and smooth feel
- Alpaca is as soft as cashmere, but warmer and stronger than sheep’s wool
- Alpaca fiber is unusually strong, durable, and highly elastic
- Alpaca wool does not contain the lanolin found in sheep’s wool, and does not cause wool allergies
- Alpaca fiber does not itch and is hypoallergenic
