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 wool and does not scratch, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Temperature regulating – it warms in winter and cools in summer, as the hollow fibers regulate body temperature.
Light yet warm – despite its low weight, alpaca wool provides excellent insulation.
Hypoallergenic – it contains no lanolin (like sheep wool), which makes it well-tolerated by allergy sufferers.
Robust and durable – the fiber is very resilient, resistant to pilling, and stays beautiful for a long time.
Sustainable – alpacas provide high-quality wool with a comparatively low ecological footprint.
