What do you think of when you hear "alpaca"?
Comparable to the softness of cashmere and warmer than merino wool, alpaca fiber is considered the "fiber of the Gods." Originally domesticated by the ancient Incan Empire, the alpaca has been considered one of the finest fibers in the world for over a thousand years. The modern fashion industry uses alpaca fiber for luxurious garments for customers that demand beauty, softness, durability and comfort. Alpaca fiber has a silky look and is smooth and slippery to the touch. Since alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin and does not require chemical scouring for processing, it is considered hypo-allergenic.
A natural fiber that comes in 26 natural colors, alpaca fiber is stronger than wool, does not "pill" and has superior thermal insulation qualities.
