Alpaca fiber is one of the world’s finest animal fibers.  The fiber is extremely soft, warm while lightweight without the normal itch factor found with some sheep wool products.  Alpaca fiber is comparable to mohair, cashmere and other rare fibers. The fibers are semi-hollow; giving Alpaca fiber added insulating value over wool.

Alpaca fiber is considered to be hypoallergenic, due to the lack of lanolin (natural body oils) produced by most animals.  Removing these other oils, not present in Alpaca fibers, are often washed out with chemicals or harsh soaps.

Alpacas develop a single coat which lacks “guard hairs”. Guard hairs are coarser than the soft undercoat which they are designed to protect.  Alpaca fiber is considered hypoallergenic and extremely soft which can be worn next to the skin without irritation.

Alpaca fiber is coveted by hand spinners and fiber artisans as well as European high-fashion designers.

Alpaca fiber is said to be stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, softer than cotton, smoother than silk, warmer than goose down and breathes better than thermal knits.

Alpaca’s board range of 24 natural colors provides the artisans with a palette of colors for unique designs. These colors come in different shades of white, fawn, brown, grey, black and many in-between colors. These attributes make Alpaca fiber a highly sought after product.
