Finest baby alpaca (22 microns) in a slightly thicker version, ideal for sweaters, jackets, scarves and hats. Baby alpaca has particularly fine fibres and is therefore comfortable even on sensitive skin. Many people have prejudices against alpaca wool, only knowing it as scratchy. However, there are big differences. Ours is super soft anyway!
Alpaca is classified into categories by fineness. This measures the fineness of the individual hair, not the fineness (running length) of the yarn. It is measured in microns. The fewer microns, i.e. the finer, the softer the alpaca yarn. There is indeed alpaca wool that is so fine that it feels like cashmere.
More information can be found in our "FAQ - frequently asked questions" section.
The alpacas on our supplier's farms are shorn once a year, for the first time at approx. 10 months, so by no means as "babies", as the name suggests.
