Alpaca have been prized for their fiber since
Pre-Incan times due to the properties and quality of their wool (hair).
Alpaca is Softest, warmest fiber in the world! Alpaca is three times
warmer than wool because of it's hollow fiber, yet super soft and not in
the least bit scratchy. Baby alpaca yarn does NOT come from baby
alpacas. Alpaca fiber is classified not by age of the animal, but by the
diameter of the hair. Baby alpaca is the finest, softest fiber, and it
is highly prized for rugs ,knitting and other crafts.
