Commercial Alpaca products are terrific to wear. Clothing made from Alpaca is superior in strength, warmth, and softness. Meet someone who has owned a quality Alpaca sweater and they will tell you about its unique comfort, encasing warmth, breathability and soothing softness.
Alpaca is a relatively unknown specialty fiber which is extremely rare and of excellent quality. It is sought the world over for its luxurious characteristics and beautiful natural look.
Alpaca fiber is stronger, lighter and more resilient than wool. Alpaca garments are finer than cashmere and equal or superior in warmth to Gortex. And of course it is 100% natural and good for the environment.
Alpaca is naturally hypoallergenic. It lacks the lanolin and other oils seen in other fleeces. Therefore, harsh toxic chemicals are not needed to process Alpaca.
Alpaca fleece does not contain gaurd hairs as does sheeps' wool. Its fineness will be noticed as you don't feel the scratchiness.
Alpaca fiber comes officially in 22 beautiful colors. These will be extremely resistant to fade or bleed, as it is the natural color of the animal.
Commercial Alpaca products may be dyed and will have some chance of bleed. But since Alpaca fiber takes dying better than most other fibers your garment, with proper care, should retain its beauty for many many years.
Alpaca is stronger than cashmere. It is resistant to pilling and will not shrink if proper care is given. Many people have had Alpaca garments for years and years.
Baby alpaca is an industry term, which relates to the fineness of the fibers that went into that particular garment or product. There are several fineness grades of alpaca fiber used to make commercial Alpaca products.
Royal baby is the finest grade of alpaca fleece. Commercial Alpaca products made from royal baby are very expensive because there are only small amounts of this grade of fiber produced in the world.
Baby is the next finest grade. It is very fine and feels wonderful in garments worn next to the skin.
Superfine is the third grade and is not quite as fine as baby Alpaca. It is still very soft and luxurious. There is a large supply of Alpaca produced in this fineness grade.
The coarser grades of Alpaca fiber are called adult or coarse and are used primarily for rugs, outerwear and other products not worn next to the skin. Some inexpensive commercial Alpaca products may actually be produced from the coarser grades of Alpaca.
