What is Alpaca Wool?
Alpaca wool is a soft and warm natural fibre that comes from the fleece of alpacas, which are South American animals known for their gentle and friendly nature.
Alpaca wool is prized for its incredible softness and warmth, making it a popular choice for making cosy sweaters, scarves, and other cold-weather clothing. Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca wool is hypoallergenic, which means it's less likely to cause allergies or itching.
It comes in a variety of natural colours, including shades of white, brown, and grey, and can be blended to create a wide range of beautiful, durable, and luxurious textiles."
What makes alpaca products so high in price?
Alpaca products are costly due to their exceptional quality, limited natural supply, labour-intensive craftsmanship, ethical farming practices, sustainability, durability, and unique characteristics, including thermal and hypoallergenic properties.
