Why Alpaca?
Alpaca fleece boasts an exquisite fineness, with fibers measuring approximately 15-30 microns—surpassing even the luxurious cashmere, which typically ranges from 30-40 microns. Often dubbed "the fiber of the gods," alpaca fleece exhibits an unparalleled softness, smoothness, and a buttery texture that delights the senses.
The microscopic air chambers within alpaca fibers contribute to exceptional insulation, ensuring the wearer maintains a comfortable temperature. Unlike some fibers, such as wool, alpaca's insulation prevents overheating, enhancing the overall wearing experience.
One notable feature setting alpaca apart is its absence of lanolin, or wool wax, rendering it hypoallergenic. This quality distinguishes alpaca from fibers like wool, making it a suitable choice for those with sensitivities. Additionally, alpaca displays water-resistant properties, further expanding its range of applications.
The versatility of alpaca extends to its production, offering myriad possibilities for clothing designers. It can be spun, woven, knitted, crocheted, transformed into bolts of fabric, and blended with various other fibers. This flexibility empowers designers with a broad spectrum of creative options when working with alpaca. Notably, the absence of lanolin simplifies processing, allowing for environmentally friendly procedures without the need for harsh chemicals or high temperatures.
