Hypoallergenic: Unlike sheep wool, alpaca fiber lacks lanolin, making it suitable for people with wool allergies.
Warmth and Lightness: Alpaca fibers are hollow, providing superior insulation without being heavy.
Durability: Alpaca fabric is strong and long-lasting.
Softness: Alpaca fleece is as soft as, or softer than, cashmere.
Moisture-wicking: Alpaca fiber naturally repels water and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor clothing.
