Royal Alpaca is the best quality fiber of this noble animal (less than 19 microns).

Previously reserved for Incan nobility, alpaca fiber is considered the gold of the Andes since this extraordinary fiber is recognized as one of the most luxurious in the world. Besides being durable, it is soft and warm, water resistant and hypoallergenic (since it does not contain lanolin), which makes it more valuable for babies and people who are allergic to sheep wool. Alpaca textiles continue to look new over time and do not release an odor like sheep wool does. It is 7 times warmer and 4 times more durable than sheep wool, and its feel is similar to cashmere.
