Alpaca / Fibre Solutions

natural fibres for the home

From high in the Peruvian Andes, comes one of the finest luxury fibres in the world. Alpaca fleece is a lustrous and silky natural fibre. Lighter and warmer than wool, luxuriously soft to the touch with a silky sheen, Alpaca is a must have product.

Using alpaca fibre promotes sustainable agriculture in the Peruvian Andes making it a highly desirable fur. Alpaca is naturally durable and will keep its soft, cashmere-like feel for years.

For most of our Alpaca Woven Throw Range, the wool is the natural fibre shorn from an alpaca. Alpaca is a soft, durable, luxurious, and silky natural fibre, naturally water-repellent, hypo-allergenic and flame resistant. Sometimes however, we find it necessary to add a small amount of synthetic fibre to the weave. This is particularly so when the spun wool is fine and then gives our luxury products the longevity they deserve.
