What is baby alpaca wool?
Alpacas are native to South America. Peru is most famous for these gracious animals. Usually, alpacas live on the Andes mountain range, grazing at elevations of 3000-4000 m.
Alpacas wool has been utilized for thousands of years. Baby alpaca wool has been considered a luxury and it was once reserved only for Inca royalty.
Baby alpaca wool comes from the underside of the neck, where the fleece is the finest and softest. Only a fleece that is sheared when the alpacas are one-year-old is classified as baby alpaca wool.
What are the qualities of baby alpaca wool?
Alpaca wool is as luxurious as cashmere but softer and stronger. It is lighter and warmer than sheep’s wool.
Baby alpaca fibre is exceptionally fine, almost reaching the fineness of cashmere, but alpaca wool is both stronger and softer.
The warmth of baby alpaca wool is ensured by the fact that its fibre is hollow. So it serves as an insulator to keep warm air in.
Alpaca wool is ideal for babies or sensitive skin. It has no lanolin – that’s why it is hypoallergenic and is a perfect solution for children and allergy-prone adults. It does not produce a ‘prickle effect’ associated with ordinary wools.
