Got your eye on an alpaca wool gift, but have some reservations? Get all the details on the shearing process used by our partners in Peru.
There’s a whole lot to love about alpaca fiber. It’s warmer than wool because the hollow fibers provide better insulation. The diameter of each fiber is quite small, making alpaca wool incredibly soft and snuggly. Alpaca fiber is also hypoallergic because it does not contain lanolin, a wax secreted by other animals whose fiber is used for wool production. This makes alpaca wool winter wear great for gifting because you never have to worry that your loved one will have an allergic reaction.
