Warmer by weight

Alpaca fiber is hollow, trapping more air than solid wool fibers. A lighter-weight alpaca sweater provides the same warmth as a heavier wool one.

No lanolin — naturally hypoallergenic

Wool contains lanolin, which causes irritation for many people. Alpaca fiber has none, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Baby vs. royal alpaca

Royal alpaca (under 19 microns) and baby alpaca (under 22 microns) are the finest grades — soft enough to wear directly on skin. Standard alpaca can feel coarser.

Peru is the origin

80% of the world's alpaca fiber comes from Peru, primarily from the Andean highlands. Brands that trace fiber to specific farms or cooperatives offer the most transparency.
