Why Choose Alpaca Wool?

Alpaca wool is a high-quality natural fiber, and with the right care, your alpaca garments and accessories will last for years. Here’s how to properly care for your alpaca wool products:

Hand Washing (Recommended Method)

1. Use cold or lukewarm water (never hot) and a mild detergent, such as baby shampoo or wool-specific soap.
2. Soak the garment for 5–10 minutes, gently agitating the water. Avoid rubbing or wringing.
3. Rinse with clean water until the soap is gone.
4. Gently press out excess water without twisting the fabric.
5. Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape if needed, and allow it to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

Machine Washing (For Some Alpaca Products)

• If your alpaca wool product states it is machine washable, use the gentle or wool cycle with cold water.
• Always place the item in a mesh laundry bag to prevent stretching or snagging.
• Use a mild, wool-safe detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
• Never tumble dry—always air dry flat.

Storage Tips

• Store your alpaca wool items in a dry, cool place to avoid moths or pests.
• For long-term storage, use cedar wood or lavender sachets as a natural moth repellent.
• Avoid hanging alpaca garments, as they may stretch out of shape—fold them instead.
