Advantages of Alpaca

The properties that make alpaca nature's smartest fiber!

First of all, many people say alpaca wool, but  the  is actually alpaca fiber which is simply the hair of the alpaca. Alpaca hair is hollow fibers that are very thin and naturally smooth, making it super soft and lightweight. At the same time, it insulates from heat and cold.

Little fun fact: Alpaca fiber and polar bear fur have the same ability to insulate when wet.

  • Water repellent: Alpaca fiber is naturally water-repellent and wicks away moisture, keeping the wearer warm and dry.
  • Odor resistant: Alpaca fiber contains sulfur and is naturally self-cleaning.
  • Allergy-friendly: Alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, which binds dust and bacteria. It  Therefore, it is perfect for baby clothes and garments for allergy sufferers.
  • Luxurious fiber: Naturally smooth and soft that both looks and feels fantastic.
  • Easy: Alpaca garments are lighter, yet sturdy and strong.
  • Environmentally and animal-friendly: Alpaca fiber is sheared in the same way as sheep. In addition, the processing of alpaca fiber is non-polluting. There are no harmful oils that need to be removed from the fibers.

    Washing and maintenance

    How to best care for your clothes

    • Our garments contain sulfur, which has self-cleaning properties, so you should always try to air the garment first. Often, bad odors disappear quickly when the alpaca garment is allowed to hang freely in the fresh air, so a wash may not be necessary after all. A garment that is washed a little less often will stay nicer for longer.

    • Stains can be treated directly without washing the entire garment. Gently dab with a damp cloth. Do not rub, as the yarn is easily felted.

    ​

    • If the garment needs to be washed, it should be washed using the most gentle method. If your washing machine has a wool cradle, we recommend using it, otherwise hand washing is the best method. Always use a special detergent or regular hair shampoo. Never use fabric softener.

    • The garment should be dried flat.
