The hair of the alpaca is classified among the finest in the world, the thickness ranges from 18 to 22 microns. Cashmere is 19 microns.
Sustainable
Alpacas are free-range animals that graze on pesticide-free land and are not fed hormones.
Technique
Alpaca fibre contains microscopic pockets of air, which makes it possible to produce thermal garments that are very light in weight.
Economical
The number of fibres needed to make an alpaca garment is considerably reduced compared to wool from other animals. This makes it a very soft wool and very comfortable to wear, since despite providing a lot of warmth, they are very light garments.
Durable
Knowing that in these times, consumers are looking for quality products that last over time, baby alpaca products last longer wash after wash.
