What is Alpaca Fiber?

Alpaca fiber is a natural fiber obtained from the alpaca, a South American camelid. It is valued for its extraordinary softness, lightness, warmth, and hypoallergenic properties , making it one of the finest and most luxurious fibers in the world. Unlike wool, alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

The unique properties of alpaca fiber include:

  • Softness and Luxury: It is exceptionally soft to the touch, comparable to cashmere, and lacks the “spikes” that can cause itching in other wools.
  • Superior Warmth: Its hollow fibers make it very warm, providing excellent thermal insulation without being bulky.
  • Lightness: Alpaca garments are remarkably light.
  • Hypoallergenic: Since it does not contain lanolin, it is an excellent option for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
  • Breathability and Moisture Control: Regulates body temperature effectively, keeping the wearer comfortable in various weather conditions.
  • Odor Resistance: Naturally resistant to odor buildup.
  • Strength and Durability: Despite its softness, it is a strong fiber that resists pilling better than cashmere or sheep wool.
  • Variety of Natural Colors: Available in a wide range of over 20 natural colors, from pure white to deep black, including grays, browns, and tans.
  • Sustainability: Alpacas have a lower environmental impact than other fiber livestock species.

Main types of Alpaca Fiber marketed:

  • Huacaya: The most common variety, with a curly and fluffy fiber, similar to sheep’s wool but with the properties of alpaca.
  • Suri: Less common, with a long, smooth, silky fiber that hangs from the body in strands.
  • Baby Alpaca: Not from baby alpacas, but from the first shearing of a young alpaca or from the softest parts of an adult animal’s fleece. It is the finest and softest alpaca fiber and is highly valued.
  • Superfine Alpaca: A higher fineness classification than standard alpaca, but not as fine as “Baby Alpaca.”

Common forms of marketed Alpaca Fiber:

  • Raw Alpaca Fiber: The fiber as sheared from the animal, unwashed, containing dirt and plant matter.
  • Scoured Alpaca Fiber: Fiber free of impurities, ready for further processing.
  • Combed Alpaca Fiber (Alpaca Tops): Long, parallel fibers, ready for spinning. This is one of the most common forms for international trade.
  • Alpaca Yarn: Spun and twisted yarn, ready for knitting or dyeing, available in different thicknesses (gauges) and ply.
  • Raw or Finished Alpaca Fabrics: Woven or knitted fabrics, ready to make garments.

Characteristics and Specifications of Alpaca Fiber:

We market alpaca fiber in various forms and grades, adapting to the demands of each industry:

  • Fineness (Microns): A measure of fiber diameter. The lower the diameter (e.g., below 20 microns), the softer and more valuable the fiber.
    • Baby Alpaca: Generally between 18 and 20 microns.
    • Superfine Alpaca: Between 20 and 23 microns.
    • Adult Alpaca: Between 23 and 26 microns.
  • Fiber Length (Millimeters): Longer fibers are preferable for the production of stronger yarns that are less prone to pilling.
  • Natural Color: The wide range of natural colors is a distinctive feature. The color or color mixture is specified.
  • Impurity Content: Percentage of vegetable matter or dirt in the washed fiber.
  • Origin: The country of origin can influence the characteristics of the fiber and its sustainability certifications (Peru and Bolivia are the main producers).
  • Certifications:
    • Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS): An emerging standard that promotes animal welfare and responsible land management.
    • Oeko-Tex Standard 100: Guarantees the absence of harmful substances in textile products.
    • Traceability: Ability to trace the origin and production process of the fiber.
