Why Alpaca Wool?

Alpaca wool is a natural fibre obtained from the alpaca species and is reputable for its softness, fineness, and warmth. This exceptional wool is lightweight in nature, ensuring unparalleled comfort.

This type of wool also contains hypoallergenic properties which cater to sensitive skin, while its durability guarantees long-lasting wear. With its luxurious feel and sustainability, an alpaca wool garment promises both style and practicality.

Is Using Alpaca Wool Ethical?

Shearing alpacas is a necessary practice as Alpacas' have a dense fiber coat that requires regular shearing to prevent overheating during warmer seasons and to harvest their valuable fleece for textiles.

We only use wool that has been obtained from highly experienced shearers who use gentle techniques, proper restraint, and considerate timing to avoid discomfort for the alpaca. This process also offers an opportunity for health assessment and intervention, ensuring the alpacas' overall welfare.
