Alpaca fiber is lightweight yet offers superior warmth in cold conditions and breathability in warmth, making it an ideal material for year-round wear. Its unique hollow structure allows air circulation while maintaining heat, ensuring comfort without overheating. Cool alpacas - happy alpacas.

Softness of a fiber is measured in microns; the smaller the micron, the finer and softer the wool. Good quality alpaca typically has a thickness ranging from 18-23 microns, while most cashmere fibers fall at 19 microns.

Alpacas roam the Andean Highlands together with their alpaca breeders (= alpaquero) and follow the availability of grass through the mountains. A healthy environment equals a healthy herd equals a healthy alpaquero. This mutually beneficial relationship is a perfect example of sustainable alpaca farming.
