Alpacas produce one of the softest and most luxuirous natural fibers in the world - so soft and rare it was once reserved for royalty. Frequently compared to cashmere, the unique qualities of alpaca place it in a class of its own. Warmer and stronger than wool, alpaca fiber is hollow, making it very light with remarkable insulating and wicking qualities. Alpaca products are a luxurious pleasure both to the eye and to the touch.
