Alpaca is the New Cashmere
Have you ever wondered if there is an eco-friendly alternative to cashmere? Today, together with Archideco and Weich Alpaca, we'll delve into the intricacies of these marvelous creatures and their exquisite wool, which is prized for its softness, durability and eco-friendliness.
Alpaca wool is a high-quality and environmentally friendly alternative to cashmere. A material that was prized by the royal families of the ancient Incas for its unsurpassed softness, silkiness and quality, and today continues to fascinate connoisseurs of comfort and quality with its qualities.
There are two varieties of alpacas wool: the Huacaya and the Suri. While both of these varieties boast soft and gorgeous wool, they differ in sensations when touched.
What makes alpacas so valuable? In addition to their charming attractiveness, these animals are famous for their exquisite, hypoallergenic fur.
Alpacas, which are raised in the highlands of the Andes, have natural access to water sources and extensive pastures, providing a healthy, clean, non-threatening habitat for the animals.
Alpaca farming takes a more humane and ethical approach fulfilled with the respect - the average herd size is 80-100 animals, and most alpaca farmers are tending their herds with love and care.
Trends are moving towards environmentally friendly solutions and products made from alpaca wool are such a solution - this is a material in which luxury is combined with environmental ideas and every millimeter of the material tells a story about traditions, love and respect to nature. It's more than just a material - it's a heritage woven with pride and respect to our planet.
Here are a few more interesting facts about alpaca:
- Alpaca wool comes in a stunning range of natural shades - from snowy white and rich brown to jet black and silver grey. Each shade adds depth and character to the wool, making each piece a unique work of art.
- Unlike other types of wool, alpaca wool does not contain lanolin, making it an ideal solution for people with allergies and/or sensitive skin.
- Alpacas are fascinating animals that leave a smaller ecological footprint than other species because their efficient digestive system produces less methane, thereby significantly reducing environmental damage.
- Alpaca wool is renowned for its quality and durability, and with proper care, items made from this material will pass the test of time and last for years.
- Alpacas have been revered by Andean people for thousands of years. Today, alpaca farming continues to support local communities, preserving ancient customs and contributing to economic growth.
