Alpaca
wool is spun from the fleece of the Alpaca animal, first cousin to the
Llama and the Vicuna; all native to the Andean highlands
(Peru, Bolivia, and Chile) of South America. The Alpaca fleece
creates a very warm and cozy garment. The delicate cloud of filaments
make it almost silky and
very soft to the
touch. The hollow fiber makes it a lighter weight with greater capacity
to insulate. Valued as
cashmere, it is
warmer
and stronger than lambs wool.
Wrap yourself in
the
warmth and luxury of alpaca fleece, you'll feel very elegant wearing
the wonderful capes, shawls,
and sweaters
sold at Galeria Quetzal. |
