Our Alpacas
Alpaca’s Unique Fibre Characteristics
- Due to the microscopic air pockets within the fibre, warmth per weight is 3 x the insulating capacity of wool, so garmets are very light and very warm.
- Virtually water repellant in knit U woven material (not felt) resulting in staying dry & warm.
- Strongest mammal fibre adding longevity to your garmet.
- Has no lanoline unlike sheep wool which attracts dust thus less chance of carrying allergens.
- Class 1 fibre regarding flame resistance. Does not melt into skin.
- Naturally windproof, stain & odor resistant.
- Comes in 22 natural colors ranging in whites, fawns, browns, blacks & greys. No need for toxic dyes, although the fibre does take dyes very readily.
- All natural and biodegradable.
