Alpaca wool has been used for centuries to create a wide range of attractive, durable and hypoallergenic garments that look great and feel gorgeous.
With more and more artisans and designers discovering the benefits of alpaca wool for clothing, there’s never been a better time to pick up a few key pieces to compliment your winter wardrobe.
Read on to discover why alpaca wool clothing has become so popular and why you should try it for yourself.
Luxurious
Alpaca wool is beautifully soft to the touch, so much so that alpaca fibers are often compared to their more expensive cashmere counterparts.
Another reason why alpaca wool clothing has become highly desirable is because the soft fibers give off a lustrous sheen similar to silk, so not only does it feel gorgeous, but also has a stunningly glossy appearance under the light.
Alpaca also comes in sixteen natural shades but can easily be dyed using synthetic or plant-based dyes to create a wonderfully colorful garment in a vast array of shades.
From hat and glove sets to stunning wraps and shawls, alpaca clothing looks just as good as it feels!
Light and warm
Alpaca clothing isn’t only far lighter than wool, but it also offers superior warmth with approximately three times the insulating capacity of wool.
Other fantastic characteristics of clothing made from alpaca wools also include its ability to stretch, water repellency and odor reduction as the fibers offer greater breathability. For those of us that like to travel to cooler climes, clothing made from alpaca wool exceptionally warm so one sweater is all you’ll need if the temperature drops.
Flame and odor resistant
Not only are pieces of clothing made from alpaca wool soft, light and warm, alpaca wool is also flame resistant, stain resistant and resists acquired odors, so it really is a wonderful material for beautiful clothing that can last for years!
Natural
As alpaca wool contains no lanolin, alpaca fiber is also naturally hypoallergenic and therefore is the ideal material for those of us who suffer from skin sensitivities.
Many people are sensitive to wool against their skin, but as alpaca wool is beautifully soft, the fibers will not irritate the skin making it comfortable to wear.
