Alpacas are social herd animals similar to, but smaller than, llamas. Alpacas have been bred for thousands of years in mountainous regions of South and Central America for their soft and silky fur. With a wide range of natural colors, alpaca fiber is used to make knitted clothing, accessories, and bedding. It's warmer than wool, non-allergenic, and flame resistant. But, being lanolin-free, it is not water repellant. Alpaca is often blended with other fibers, but all of the hats, scarves, shawls, and ponchos in this handpicked collection are 100% pure luxurious alpaca. And they're all made by highly skilled fair trade artisans. Click the artist name links to view more items these artisans.
