For those with sensitive skin:
We source premium yarn exclusively from internationally recognized alpaca suppliers to ensure consistency and excellence in every piece we create. Our yarn is spun from alpaca fibers typically under 22 microns, striking the ideal balance between softness and durability. Garments made from this grade of fiber are generally smooth to the touch and comfortable against the skin.
Alpaca fibers are naturally less irritating than wool and feel smoother thanks to their fine structure, though sensitivities to animal fibers can vary from person to person.
We take pride in crafting high-quality, natural garments. If you have delicate skin, we encourage you to experience our scarves in person before purchasing. Each scarf reflects the unique qualities of the animals it comes from—every piece is one of a kind. When in doubt, try it out!
Alpaca Fiber: A renewable resource.
Alpaca fiber is a natural renewable resource. Animals are shorn every year and their fiber comes in 16 official colors. Beautiful creations can be crafted without the need of dye.
Alpaca does not have lanolin, so it requires less washing during processing than wool. This also makes it hypoallergenic for those with sensitive skin.
The scales on the fiber are closer to the shaft. This makes alpaca fiber feel softer to touch than wool, reducing the “prickle” factor.
Alpaca fiber is antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. Due to its hollow core, this fiber can wick moisture away well and trap heat, while feeling lighter than wool.
