Prized for almost 5000 years as a luxury fiber, it was once reserved for Incan royalty and valued more precious than gold.Soft, durable, hypoallergenic and thermal; alpaca continues its long history of exquisite textiles in this beautiful knit.A rare fiber, less alpaca is harvested annually than cashmere.Your Alpaca item will be an investment that will look handsome for years after its purchase.Why buy Alpaca? Alpaca wool evolved due to the harsh Andean climate -burning sun by day, freezing conditions at night -into a warm, soft, and exceptionally insulating material. The wool is virtually non-absorbent which reduces humidity near the body creating a better feel and absorbing no odor. Free from lanolin it is naturally hypoallergenic, does not hold allergens, and is flame retardant. Socially Responsible! Alpaca is a sustainable fiber. Alpacas graze freely in the Altiplano doing no damage to the environment. Overseeing alpacas sustains rural families in the highlands of Peru, enabling them to stay in their traditional homes and preserve their culture. Processing alpaca wool uses less water and no harsh detergents to clean the fleece.How to care for your Alpaca clothing: Easily care for alpaca as you would wool. We recommend 4-6 wearings or more between washings as it will stay cleaner longer.Dry Clean or Hand-wash alpaca knits in cold water, do not agitate. Lay flat to dry in shade. Fold - hanging will cause stretching. Store clean in a moth-free environment.With care, your alpaca sweater is sure to become an old friend.
