Alpaca Wool:
Alpacas are raised to be a dominant species in the highlands of Bolivia at 12500 ft. Alpacas resist subzero weather conditions because of their thick wool that has heating properties, these little animals know nothing about feeling cold, neither will you. Each year the wool is used to make luxury garment all over the world because of its ease to adopt different colors. When this wool

receives extra treatment it is softer and smoother and is known in the market as "baby alpaca", this wool is commonly compared to cashmere, and it wins, always. As all luxury wool, these must be handwashed or dry cleaned, they will not endure hot water temperatures. A brief history

Alpacas were domesticated over 7000 years ago by Andean shepherds. During the Inca civilization, alpaca wool was known as the "thread of the Gods" and cherished as a treasure, reserved for members of Inca royalty during religious ceremonies. During the XVII century, conquistadores from Spain killed a large part of the Alpaca population the symbol of Inca wealth. (messed up we know, but wait...),
The most fierce Alpacas were able to escape to the high Andes mountains! Alpacas today are the descendant of the best bloodline wool animals known to man. At the break of the XX century, NASA used Alpaca wool for astronauts in deep space.
