Alpacas are no longer just seen on farms or on hikes - like our small herd of alpacas near Würzburg! They have conquered a permanent place in the fashion world thanks to their charming charisma and fluffy appearance. Their wool in particular, which is considered one of the finest and warmest natural fibers, can be found in numerous products.
In this blog post we delve into the world of alpaca wool and show you why it is a real highlight in terms of sustainability , comfort and quality .
Why alpaca wool? The special features of the natural fiber
Alpaca wool , especially baby alpaca wool , is becoming increasingly popular due to its exceptional properties. It is hypoallergenic, very soft and provides excellent warmth without making the body sweat. Compared to other natural fibers, such as sheep's wool, alpaca wool has the advantage of not containing lanolin, which makes it ideal for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin.
Some benefits of alpaca wool products :
-
Temperature regulating : Alpaca fibers are hollow, which allows for natural insulation. This means that alpaca wool keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.
-
Soft and light : Baby alpaca wool in particular is extremely fine and is very comfortable to wear. It doesn't scratch and is therefore very popular even when in direct contact with the skin.
-
Durable : Alpaca wool products are durable and retain their shape even after frequent wear. Their fibers are sturdy and do not pill, making them a high-quality choice for clothing and accessories.
-
Moisture-regulating : Alpaca wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet. This ensures a pleasant foot and skin climate, whether it is alpaca socks , leg warmers or shoe insoles .
Sustainability – Alpaca wool as an environmentally friendly choice
The production of alpaca wool is more environmentally friendly than other natural fibers. Alpacas have soft soles that protect the soil and they are extremely frugal when it comes to their food needs. Their wool grows continuously and is obtained through gentle shearing. Unlike synthetic materials or wool that has been chemically processed, alpaca wool remains a purely natural product that is biodegradable.
In our alpaca online shop, we place great value on sustainability . Therefore, many of our products come from species-appropriate animal husbandry and are made by hand. For products such as shoe insoles made from real alpaca fur , alpaca headbands or alpaca blankets , particular emphasis is placed on the processing of natural materials.
