The alpaca, a relative of the llama, is a rare animal. Most alpacas live in South America today: Peru (90%), Chile, and Argentina. Alpacas live between 15-25 years old and weigh between 50-100 kg.

Originally, alpaca wool was used by the Incas. They produced and treated wool in many colors and qualities. The alpaca also had a central place in their culture and was used in religious ceremonies. For many years, the alpaca was a secret to the world.
Alpaca wool was "discovered" in the 18th century by an English textile traveler, Sir Titus. He was impressed by the quality of the wool. At that time, the wool was only worn by royal people. Ordinary people were punished if they wore alpaca wool.

Characteristics:
Alpaca fibers are 3 times stronger and 7 times warmer than regular lamb's wool! This is necessary for the alpaca because it lives at high altitudes in Peru (3000-4500m above sea level). The temperature often drops to -20C at night! Additionally, alpaca wool is extremely soft and comfortable to wear - and it is hypoallergenic!
Today, alpaca wool is a very popular and exclusive material in the fashion industry worldwide. Alpaca wool is expensive and is considered a better material compared to merino sheep or cashmere wool.
