Why Alpaca?

Alpaca is an incredibly luxurious fabric that stands out among synthetic fibers and harsh materials we encounter daily. Here are some key points to understand about alpaca:

1. Natural thermostat: Alpaca fiber has the amazing ability to trap body heat in cooler temperatures and release it when it gets warmer. This helps to keep you comfortable in different weather conditions.

2. Pilling resistance: Unlike many other fibers, alpaca wool has less tendency to develop those annoying little balls of fibers, known as pilling. Its silky fiber and long hairs contribute to its durability and long-lasting appearance.

3. Animal-friendly: Alpacas are not harmed during the shearing process. This means that alpaca wool is obtained in a cruelty-free manner, which is important for many people who value ethical and sustainable products.

4. Softness: Alpaca fiber is incredibly soft, silky, supple, and smooth to the touch. It's known for its luxurious feel, comparable to cashmere. Additionally, it is warmer and stronger than lambs' wool, providing both comfort and durability.

5. Elasticity and Resistance: Alpaca fiber is remarkably strong and resilient. It exhibits excellent elasticity, which means it can stretch and bounce back without losing its shape. This makes it comparable to wool and other animal fibers in terms of durability.

6. Lanolin-free and hypoallergenic: Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber is free from lanolin, a grease that can cause wool allergies and give off a distinct odor. Alpaca wool is hypoallergenic and doesn't cause itching, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.

7. Moisture-wicking: Alpaca fiber doesn't retain humidity, meaning it helps to keep you dry by wicking away moisture from your body. This feature adds to its comfort and suitability for various climates
