WARM

The alpaca has adapted to the extreme climate of the Andes. To do so, it has developed a fleece with excellent thermal capabilities. For example, its insulation capacity is seven times higher than that of sheep's wool. The alpaca fiber also allows the skin to breathe well, keeping you warm without perspiring. Finally, the fiber naturally offers excellent protection against UV radiation, which helps retain colors longer.

ALLERGIES
Unlike many other natural fibers, alpaca wool contains no lanolin. Lanolin is a substance to which many people are allergic. Additionally, the silky-soft alpaca fiber is incredibly pleasant to wear without any itchy feeling. These properties make alpaca wool ideal for even the most sensitive baby skin.

DURABLE
The sustainability of alpaca wool can be found in every step of its life cycle. To begin with, the alpaca itself is a very environmentally friendly grazer. It leaves the roots of grazed crops untouched. The production process of alpaca wool is also significantly more sustainable than synthetic alternatives. It is a natural product, which ensures that it breaks down faster and is much less harmful to the environment. Finally, wearing alpaca wool is also a sustainable choice. The fiber is stronger and more elastic than many other types of wool, meaning a garment will retain its shape longer and can therefore be worn for a longer period.

Due to all these special properties, alpaca wool is considered one of the most coveted and luxurious types of wool in the world.
