Alpaca fiber, comes from the Alpaca, a domesticated South American camelid that is related to the llama. Alpaca yarn is also a sustainable choice because alpacas are shorn rather than slaughtered for their fiber, which means that they can be sheared multiple times throughout their lives. Alpaca wool yarn is a popular choice for knitting and crochet for a number of reasons:
- Softness: Alpaca wool is known for its softness, making it a comfortable choice for garments and accessories that will be worn next to the skin. This is especially important for items like baby blankets and garments, which need to be extra gentle on delicate skin.
- Warmth: Alpaca wool is a warm fiber, making it a good choice for cold weather garments and accessories. It is also breathable, which means that it can help regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable in a range of temperatures.
- Lightweight: Alpaca wool is a lightweight fiber, which means that it creates a fabric that is not too heavy or bulky. This makes it a good choice for garments and accessories that need to be worn close to the body, such as sweaters and scarves.
- Lustrous: Alpaca wool has a lustrous finish, which gives it a soft, silky appearance. This makes it a good choice for projects that need a little extra shine, such as shawls and wraps.
- Hypoallergenic: Alpaca wool is hypoallergenic, which means that it is less likely to cause irritation or allergies. This makes it a good choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies to other types of wool.
