peru wool blanket

More and more people are enjoying the feel of luxury alpaca sweaters, blankets, coats and other garments. But what makes the clothes alpaca so special and so desired? Well, it all starts with the animal, an animal that is noble and friendly thank God enjoying a worldwide renaissance.

If you've ever seen an alpaca up close, you probably consider them part of the flame or species of camels. In reality, distant family members of both. They look more to the flames, but have many characteristics of camels. Their performance and sitting styles are very similar to the camels and like camels, alpacas consume only small amounts of water.

Eco Friendly Contributors

These beautiful animals are desired for their soft wool but very strong, which is stripped year. However, their carbon footprint is another reason why they are becoming so popular to collect. They feed on grass, but unlike other livestock, not removing the root, so the grass grows back.

In addition, alpacas eat less per pound than similar species and their waste product is wanted as a product natural, low odor fertilizer. The smooth and playful attitude makes it ideal for breeding cows, one reason why alpaca farms have become more prominent in worldwide.

Alpaca Sweaters

The most common garments from alpacas are sweaters. With nominal care, literally will last a lifetime. The fiber used to make the sweater is processed completely natural, no animals harmed. The final product is warmer than wool, pleasantly soft to the touch, and naturally hypoallergenic.

In the past 25 years, alpaca clothing more and more have come into prominence. Shawls, scarves, gloves, shoes and so far are fairly common. Alpaca socks are well known for their warmth, breatheability and natural properties to prevent odor.

Durability A Plus

Like cashmere, alpaca sweaters are known for their years of durability. Perhaps this is because alpacas themselves be quite resistant. Its natural habitat in Peru mountain usually lasts. These animals have thrived quite well despite the difficult climate and terrain, and adapt to other conditions as well.

Although no concrete evidence that alpacas are believed to be the oldest animal species on the planet. And so, durability seems to be a common theme, the animals themselves, the products produced from wool.
