About Alpaca

Alpacas are a species of camel, that originate from South America whose wool was once prized by Inca Royalty for its unique strength, lustre and softness.

Alpaca wool has a hollow fibre which renders it uniquely light and incredibly warm, while giving a rich silky feel against the skin. Alpacas produce a fine, heavy fleece in many beautiful naturally occurring shades delivering an organic and rustic look.

Alpaca wool is lanolin free and hypo-allergenic which when combined with it’s uniquely soft properties makes it ideally suited for use in baby clothing. Alpaca hairs also contain a naturally occurring resin that gives the garments a resistance to staining, wrinkling, and water. Alpaca yarn is also known to be incredibly hard wearing with low tendancy to pill or ball.

Alpacas produce a unique, lavish but practical fibre which has been combined with contemporary British design for a luxurious and exclusive collection of babywear products.
