Did you know alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic? The fine nature of alpaca fiber gives alpaca clothing a superior softness against your skin. The fiber is not prickly and does not heat you up like wool. Because alpaca fiber has a hollow core, it is a breathable fabric so even when you get inside from the cold, your alpaca clothing will remain comfortable to wear.
Sustainability is becoming ever important to consumers. More of us are starting to realize the importance of living an environmentally friendly lifestyle, and there is a greater understanding of the need to reduce our dependency on products that cause damage to our environment.
But what makes alpaca so eco-friendly and sustainable? One of the major reasons is the lack of lanolin, which means it doesn’t need chemical processing like wool. Alpaca is also eco-friendly because:
· The fiber is very durable - its durability means it will last a long time, which reduces the waste associated with poorer quality materials.
· The fiber of the alpaca can be safely shorn annually throughout its lifespan without risk to the alpaca’s well-being; this makes alpaca fleece a sustainable resource.
· Alpaca fleece comes in 16 colors, so there’s often no need for artificial dyes that could be damaging to the environment.
At times, we all feel the need to be kind to ourselves, especially when the winter cold sets in. Alpaca clothing is known for its luxurious feel, so why not treat yourself?
