What is alpaca wool?

Why is alpaca wool better than merino or cashmere wool? Here are some facts that will give you more information about it.

  • Nutrition

    Alpacas are gentle animals that only nibble on the tips of grasses. They also have fewer nutritional needs than sheep and only drink water from wetlands.

  • Sustainable

    Alpacas have soft pads so that they do not destroy the pastures during their migrations in the Andes and the plants can grow sustainably.

  • High Andes

    Alpacas live above 3,000m above sea level in the Peruvian Andes. This is their natural habitat.

  • Natural colours

    Alpacas have 9 pure colors: white, light fawn, light camel, camel, tan, brown, gray, brown/black and black.
    If we mix these colors, we can achieve more than 22 uncolored shades.
