All About Alpaca

Alpaca yarn is silky, soft, supple and smooth to the touch and is prized for its luxurious feel. It has unique thermal properties due to the microscopic air pockets found in the fibre. These pockets allows the wearer to breathe through it on warm days, and likewise trap body heat in cold weather.

Alpaca yarn is softer than cashmere or angora, and warmer and lighter weight than wool, without the prickle-factor that some wool has, making it the perfect natural material for children's clothes. Since alpaca fleece has no lanolin, it is hypoallergenic.
