Expressively Alpaca: Fashion Show
From field to fashion… Alpaca fleece is light or heavy in weight, depending on how it is spun. It’s soft, durable, luxurious and silky. While similar to sheep’s wool, it’s warmer, not prickly and has no lanolin making it hypoallergenic. Alpaca is naturally water-repellent and difficult to ignite. Join Canadian Alpaca Fibre Works as they feature everything from fine knit garments to home goods including duvets, blankets, rugs and even insulation material.
