Do you know about alpaca wool?

Alpacas originated 45 million years ago and belong to the herbivorous camel family. They grow on the plateaus of the Andes Mountains in Peru, at an altitude of 3500 - 5000 meters. Enduring a temperature difference of 0 - 40 degrees Celsius day and night, and with the harsh climate conditions and their intake of high - altitude ichu grass and fungi, alpaca fur has four characteristics: it is softer, lighter, warmer and more abrasion - resistant than other natural furs.

In contemporary times, people pay attention to a healthy life. They are troubled by the fact that other natural furs are prone to having fly eggs and lice. However, alpaca wool is well - known for being free from parasitic diseases such as fly eggs and lice.

It is said that the fiber strength of alpaca wool is three times that of cashmere, and its heat - retention property is 1.5 times that of cashmere and 3 to 4 times that of wool. Its tenacity is higher than that of wool. Moreover, it does not contain oil, grease or lanolin, and has no peculiar smell.
