What is Vicuña Fiber?

Vicuña fiber is the finest, softest, and warmest natural fiber in the world, obtained from the vicuña ( Vicugna vicugna ), a wild camelid found in the Andes of South America. It is so prized that it is often called the “fiber of the gods,” and during Inca times, its use was reserved exclusively for royalty. Its extreme value is due to its scarcity, the difficulty of its harvest, and its unparalleled properties.

The unique properties of vicuña fiber include:

Extreme Fineness: With an average diameter of 12 to 13 microns (even below 10 microns in some fibers), it is the finest known animal fiber, giving it unparalleled softness and feel.
Outstanding Warmth: Its microscopic, hollow fibers have exceptional thermal insulation capacity, being incredibly warm without being bulky.
Amazing Lightness: Garments made with vicuña are extraordinarily light.
Natural Color: Usually a beautiful cinnamon or reddish hue, giving it a natural and luxurious aesthetic. It is not usually dyed to preserve its essence.
Strength and Durability: Despite its fineness, it is a surprisingly strong fiber.
Hypoallergenic: Like alpaca, it does not contain lanolin, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Common forms of Vicuña Fiber marketed:

Raw Vicuña Fiber (Greasy Vicuña Fiber): The fiber as sheared from the animal, unwashed, containing lanolin, dirt, and vegetable matter.
Dehaired and Scoured Vicuña Fiber: This is the most common form of bulk shavings. The fiber has been cleaned and the coarser fibers (“guard hair”) removed, leaving only the soft fleece.
Combed Vicuña Wool (Vicuña Tops/Roving): Clean, untangled and parallel fibers, ready for spinning.
Vicuña Yarn: Spun and twisted yarn, available in its natural color and in very fine gauges.
Raw or Finished Vicuña Fabrics: Fabrics woven from pure vicuña, the most expensive and luxurious in the world.

Characteristics and Specifications of Vicuña Fiber:

We market vicuña fiber in various forms and grades, adapting to the demands of each industry. Given its nature and value, traceability and authenticity are paramount:

Fineness (Microns): The primary quality factor. The average diameter (e.g., 12 μm to 13 μm) and micron range of the fibers are specified.
Fiber Length (Millimeters): Vicuña fibers tend to be relatively short (approximately 2.8 to 5.2 cm), but their extreme fineness compensates for this.
Natural Color: The characteristic cinnamon tone. Color uniformity is valued.
Purity: Guaranteed to be 100% vicuña fiber, with no blends.
Vegetable Matter (VM) and Impurity Content: Minimal levels in processed fiber.
Origin and Traceability (CITES): Crucial . The vicuña is a species protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) . Its trade is only permitted under strict regulations and with specific permits certifying a legal and sustainable origin (usually from controlled shearing carried out in Andean communities). Each shipment must be accompanied by a certificate or invoice with a CITES number . The main producing countries are Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.
