You would like to buy our products made of high quality alpaca wool, but you still have open questions like: What is special about alpaca wool? Why is alpaca wool so warm? Where does the alpaca wool we use come from? For all these questions and more, we have compiled comprehensive information that will help you in your buying decision.

The special properties of alpaca wool - Lightweight and yet very warm

The fibers of Alpaca wool are characterized by their delicacy, but at the same time they are resistant and durable.

Alpaca wool is characterized by its special thermal properties. Its internally hollow fibers provide excellent insulating capacity and superior heat retention.

Compared to other types of wool, alpaca wool retains body heat more effectively. This material is not only warmer, but also pleasantly soft against the skin. It also provides protection in cold weather up to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Thus, it is particularly suitable for people who are always cold.

The special structure of wool also gives it an impressive water resistance. This allows you to stay dry for several hours even during unexpected rain showers. In addition, the fiber is able to absorb up to a third of its own weight in moisture. It releases this continuously without feeling damp.

In addition, the wool is characterized by its wind resistance. A special processing procedure binds the fibers in such a way that they form a wind-repellent surface. Despite this density, the wool remains breathable and stores both warm and cool air. Thus, it provides a balanced climate on the body.

The natural composition of wool also makes it flame retardant. This is a safety advantage, especially in comparison with synthetic fibers. Last but not least, wool has the ability to neutralize odors.

While synthetic clothes often need to be washed after being worn once, with this wool a simple airing is enough. This will help you avoid unpleasant odors.

Does alpaca wool scratch?

Alpaca wool is known for its exceptional softness, which makes it an ideal choice for sensitive skin. Unlike some other types of wool, it does not scratch and provides a comfortable feel. 

The hypoallergenic properties of wool also make it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Unlike many synthetic materials that can cause skin irritation, this wool is especially gentle on the skin. 

Its natural fibers are not only soft, but also free of chemical additives that could trigger allergies. Thus, the wool offers a safe and comfortable option for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

Where does our alpaca wool come from?

Our exquisite alpaca wool comes from the renowned traditional company Steiner Loden from Mandling in Styria. This family business is a guarantee for highest quality and sustainability. The careful selection of raw materials and handcrafted processing result in long-lasting products. These meet the highest standards of luxury and comfort.

Working with such a reputable partner underscores our commitment to providing you with only the best. This way, we can ensure that our collection is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also of unparalleled quality.

How to care for your high quality alpaca clothing
