THE MIRACLE FIBER

How is the alpaca wool nature’s superior fiber?

Alpacas graze in the highest levels of Andes at 5000 meters. Their distinctive wool is naturally produced to battle the intense climates of the Peruvian highlands. At exceeding temperatures of 30ºC+ during the day, their fleece keeps them feeling cool and breathable. While at night, climates drop below freezing, making them resilient to the heat and cold.
