Alpaca fibres contain very little lanolin; therefore, Alpaca Lace is perfect for people with sensitive skin.
- Composition
100% Alpaca wool (Baby Alpaca)
Our Alpaca Lace is a delicate and hard wearing yarn made from pure alpaca wool. It is spun in Peru from 100% baby alpaca fleece which makes it unbelievably luxurious and amazingly soft. Because the soft and delicate fibres come from the first shearing of the baby animals, it is incredibly light and perfect for lace work.
