The farm shop at the Artner Alpaca Farm in Zemendorf/Stöttera invites you to explore: Here, visitors not only find high-quality products related to the beloved alpacas – such as cuddly soft wool, handcrafted accessories, or thoughtful gift ideas – but also fine salt products and conscious specialties. In a cozy atmosphere, shopping becomes an experience that makes the special connection between animal love, craftsmanship, and regionality tangible.
Products made from alpaca wool are so popular because the fiber combines many special properties:
Soft and skin-friendly – Alpaca wool is finer than sheep's wool and does not itch, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Temperature-regulating – it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, as the hollow fibers regulate body temperature.
Light yet warming – despite its low weight, alpaca wool insulates exceptionally well.
Hypoallergenic – it contains no lanolin (like sheep's wool), which makes it well-tolerated by allergy sufferers.
Robust and durable – the fiber is very resilient, low-pilling, and stays beautiful for a long time.
Conscious – Alpacas provide high-quality wool with a comparatively low ecological footprint.
