Alpaca is a rare specialty fiber.
It is stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, warmer than goose down, and breathes better than thermal knits.
It is naturally hypoallergenic, snuggly soft, and cozy warm. Alpaca washes easily and packs well. It will not pill or wrinkle and holds up for many years of comfortable wear.
Alpaca is the fiber traditionally reserved for Inca nobility - Inca emperors rewarded nobles with gifts of soft alpaca fabric made by expert artisans.
According to ancient Incan legend, alpacas were loaned to humans on Mt. Ausangate in Peru, left on earth as long as they were treated well and respected.
