Why Alpaca?

Alpaca fleece was in times past reserved for the royal and wealthy class. Today it is highly sought after for its many superior qualities over other fibers like wool and synthetics. It is hypoallergenic, lightweight - very light, stronger, warmer - very warm, softer and more durable than even merino wool and cashmere. It is so luxuriously soft and silky that it is sometimes compared with cashmere. It's luster is like silk, exuding beauty that adds to its coveted qualities. It is also known for water repellant and stretch characteristics (without distortion) as well as being wrinkle resistant and resistant to odors. Alpaca is so durable that with proper care it can last eloquently for generations. Garments dating back more than 2000 years in Peru have been found to be still in good condition.
