Baby alpaca is alpaca fiber made with hair from the very first sheer of an alpaca.  Alpacas are shorn once per year, and the hair from the first sheer of an alpaca is the softest it will ever be.  Peruvian baby alpaca is hypoallergenic, and alpaca fiber production is one of the most sustainable fiber production processes. Alpaca is a natural technical fiber, it has a breathable, unique thermal quality that allows air circulation to prevent sweating in warm weather, and in cold weather, contains heat for warmth. Comes with matching hand warmers which are sold separately.
