Why is alpaca wool so special?

 

  1. Texture : Alpaca wool has a special texture that gives it a special warmth and lightness.
  2. Warmth : Alpaca wool is three times warmer than sheep's wool.
  3. Strong : It is three times stronger than sheep hair.
  4. Hypoallergenic : Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber contains almost no lanolin, making it virtually hypoallergenic and suitable for people who are sensitive to wool.
  5. Light: Being such a warm wool, it allows it to be lighter than other wools.
  6. Soft : Alpaca fiber is more water resistant and as soft as cashmere.
  7. Delicate : Alpaca hair is classified among the finest in the world, ranging in thickness from 18 to 22 microns. Cashmere has 19 microns.
  8. Sustainable : Alpacas are free-range animals that graze on pesticide-free land and are not fed hormones.
  9. Technique : Alpaca fiber contains microscopic air pockets, making thermal and very light weight garments possible.
  10. 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 and comfortable type of wool to wear, as despite providing a lot of warmth, the garments are very light.
  11. Long-lasting : Knowing that in these times, consumers are looking for quality products that last over time, baby alpaca products are for life.
