- Alpaca fibre is resistant to water,
- Alpaca fibre is light weight and stronger than wool,

BABY ALPACA WOOL
Baby Alpaca Wool comes from the very first shearing of an Alpaca as well as wool taken from the neck and the nape part of selected adult alpacas. This wool is silky, soft and extremely smooth to the touch.
PIMA COTTON
