Buying alpaca wool: what can be made from it?
Alpaca wool consists of purely natural fibers, which create particularly soft and breathable clothing. Accordingly, the alpaca wool is preferably suitable for the production of outerwear, home decor, socks as well as caps.
If it should be particularly soft, as for the production of baby clothes and underwear, there is also baby alpaca wool.
Allergy-friendly wool with maximum wearing comfort
Similar to cotton, alpaca wool provides a pleasant wearing feeling. In addition, it is the better choice for allergy sufferers thanks to little wool grease. That means, if you want to buy alpaca wool, you can be sure to make the right decision.
By the way: did you know that? Alpaca wool retains up to 4x more heat compared to traditional virgin wool.

Buying alpaca wool: what to consider when washing?
Let's say in advance: almost all wool is sensitive to washing. Therefore, you should try to wash your wool garments as little as possible and rather let them air out in the fresh air. If you can't avoid washing, then it's best to rely on our wool detergent specially designed for fiber care and perform a hand wash in the sink with hot water at a maximum of 30 degrees.
The alternative is the wool program with our wool detergent in the washing machine, which should also not be set hotter than 30 degrees.
