Benefits of Alpaca Wool:

1. Incredible Softness: Alpaca wool is luxuriously soft and gentle on the skin, making it perfect for all-day wear.

2. Thermal Insulation: Naturally warm and breathable, it keeps you cozy in cold weather and comfortable in milder climates.

3. Durable and Lightweight: Resistant to pilling and stretching, alpaca wool garments last for years without losing their shape.

4. Hypoallergenic: Free of lanolin, alpaca wool is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin.

Care Instructions:

• Washing alpaca wool in a washing machine requires extra care. Here's how to do it:

  1. Use a mesh bag: Place your alpaca wool item in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from damage.

  2. Set to a gentle cycle: Choose the "wool" or "delicate" cycle on your washing machine. Set the temperature to lukewarm (around 30°C/85°F) to avoid felting.

  3. Use a gentle detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent or a gentle, pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid regular laundry detergents, as they can be too harsh.

  4. Avoid fabric softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the fibers and affect the wool’s natural softness.

  5. Dry properly: After washing, remove the item from the mesh bag and lay it flat on a towel to air dry. Do not wring, twist, or hang it, as this could cause stretching.
