Alpaca wool is a fabric native to South America. It is obtained from a camel animal called an alpaca. The hair of the alpacas is long, soft, drooping, silky and smooth. This makes the fiber obtained from them shiny, soft to the touch and silky. Wool from a South American animal can boast of many advantages. The main one is most often indicated as high wear resistance. The unique properties of the fibers make the product retain its attractive appearance even after several years of use. The lack of fat in the fibers also makes the fabric less susceptible to contamination. Other important advantages include:
- breathable and thermoregulatory properties – it protects very well against the cold and adapts to body temperature
- hygroscopic properties – it is permeable to water only when it absorbs water above 30% of its weight
- hypoallergenic properties
- softness and delicacy, so it does not bite or cause abrasions on the skin
- bacteriostatic properties
- non-absorption of odors
