About Product
The uniqueness of the alpaca throw
Given such natural needs, people, even at the dawn of mankind, sought to create soft and warm types of clothing and throws. The main source necessary for the manufacture of such things, for a long time, was considered only sheep's wool. But in fact, centuries ago, people living in the United Kingdom, discovered the delightful qualities of wool of an animal from the family of camel hair - alpaca. Today, plaids and blankets made of alpaca wool are known and popular all over the world. What caused such interest in this kind of material? Why, despite its high price, the demand for it not only does not fall, and continues to grow rapidly? What makes alpaca wool so special?
Elasticity and durability
Alpaca wool is very warm because its fiber has small microscopic air bubbles that warm and cool the animal depending on the time of day. This ability to insulate allows the textile to have elasticity and durability.
What features does alpaca wool have?
- Any wool is much warmer than cotton fabric, silk or polyester fiber. But alpaca wool is more delicate and lighter than sheep wool. It is spun into thinner yarns. But despite this, it is also considered more durable (three times).
- Unlike sheep's wool, this wool does not prick, does not roll and does not pile up. That is why alpaca wool throws are so soft, soft and fluffy. Thin alpaca wool fibers can absorb moisture up to 30% of its weight. At the same time, you will not feel any moisture and discomfort.
- It is important to note that this wool is practically not chemically treated, as the structure of the fiber is very sensitive. Therefore, all the colors remain natural. There are about 20 shades of alpaca wool in nature. In this range, experts create a variety of color compositions.
