BABY ALPACA

Baby alpaca, the softest part of the alpaca

Why Choose Baby Alpaca Sweaters & Knitwear?

Alpaca wool is one of the world’s most luxurious fibres and was limited to royalty and important people in pre-Inca and Inca times. More sustainable than cashmere, baby alpaca fibre is a jewel from nature for its softness and amazing properties.

Baby alpaca fiber is the softest part of an adult alpaca, usually the chest.The fineness of the baby alpaca thread lies between 21.5 and 23 microns.

Alpacas Are Kinder To The Environment

When you choose baby alpaca knitwear over garments made from other fibers such as cashmere, you're not only creating the most luxurious and comfortable experience for yourself—you also help to conserve the environment.

**Land & Water Saver**
The natural habitat of alpacas is about 3,800 metres above sea level. At this altitude, the water supply is natural and the land is generally not suitable for agriculture. Therefore, raising alpacas does not conflict with precious agricultural
resources.

**Less Energy & Chemicals**
The treatment system for the water used in the washing process of alpaca fibre requires less
chemicals and energy than what is needed for other animal fibres. Compared to other animal fibres, alpaca fibre has a low grease content (2,8–3,9%).

**Gentle On Terrain**
In contrast to goats and sheep, which have sharp hooves that damage pasture and soil, alpacas have two toes with toenails on top and a soft pad on the bottom of each foot.

**Careful With Vegetation**
Alpacas nibble only the tops of grasses and other plants. They do not rip plants out of the ground, resulting in less disturbance of the vegetation and allowing it to grow back.
