This is ethically made from 100% Baby Alpaca fibre.

The Alpaca is a mammal that lives in high altitudes in South America and has a wonderful fleece that keeps it comfortable at a wide range of temperatures. Alpacas are seasonally shorn of their fleece which is combed and cleaned and made into these gorgeous clothes.

Baby Alpaca is a very fine grade of alpaca fibre, often from the belly of grown-up alpacas, not necessarily from actual baby alpacas. It's around 19-21 micron in diameter.

Alpaca clothing has heaps of benefits for your child and family as it is actually superior to Merino wool in a number of ways!

Warmth. Alpaca fleece is unique in that it consists of hollow cells. It demonstrates perfect thermo-regulatory properties: alpaca fibre is ideal in cold weather conditions, and protects the child’s body from overheating when it is warm. It is much lighter than wool for the same warmth.
Moisture resistance. Alpaca wool is naturally breathable and does not retain moisture, but allows perspiration to evaporate.
Softness. Baby alpaca is super-soft, in the category of luxurious fibres such as cashmere. It's suitable for people with sensitivity to wool as it is smoother and usually finer..
Lightweight. It's easy to be warm and free to move freely with lightweight alpaca.
Durability. The Alpaca fibre is soft, smooth, elastic and strong! It doesn't felt as quickly as wool and is more durable, making high quality fabric that lasts and lasts and lasts, not just for one or two children but many.
Eco-friendly. Alpaca has an entirely natural origin and requires very little processing.
Stain resistant. Alpaca is naturally stain resistant which means you won’t have to wash it as often. As with wool, simply hang to air instead.

To look after your pure Alpaca clothing is simple. Alpaca is resistant to dirt and releases it easily, so after wearing, simply hang to air. There will be no need to wash it very often at all.

If you need to wash it, hand-wash in lukewarm water, cool to tepid, no more than 30C.

Use a liquid detergent designed to protect natural fibres for wool as sold in our fabric care category here.

Gently squeeze water through, avoiding any rubbing or wringing action.

Rinse at the same lukewarm, tepid temperature avoiding temperature change. Gently squeeze the water through.

Lay out on a towel, and then gently roll it up to remove excess water. Do not wring or twist the garment.

Lay flat to dry, re-shaping while damp. Avoid direct heat and sunlight.
