Alpacas are social herd animals similar to, but smaller than, llamas. Alpacas have been bred for thousands of years in mountainous regions of South and
Central America for their soft and silky fur. With a wide range of natural colors, alpaca fiber is used to make knitted clothing, accessories, and
bedding. It's warmer than wool, non-allergenic, and flame resistant. But, being lanolin-free, it is not water repellant. Alpaca is often blended with
other fibers, but all of the hats, scarves, shawls, and ponchos in this handpicked collection are 100% pure luxurious alpaca. And they're all made by
highly skilled fair trade artisans. Click the artist name links to view more items these artisans. If you see something you like, I suggest you move
quickly because there are limited quantities of items in this collection.
Prices in this collection flucuate due to shifts in world currencies, changes in regional material costs, and artisan price changes. So you need
to click the image to get the current price.
