“Baby alpaca” refers to the fineness of the fibre, not necessarily the animal’s age. It is valued for its soft feel, although the finished garment’s texture also depends on its yarn blend and construction.

Alpaca can feel soft, but comfort depends on fibre fineness, yarn construction and individual sensitivity. Baby alpaca is generally finer than coarser alpaca grades. If you have sensitive skin, contact us about the specific yarn before ordering.

Both can provide excellent warmth. A sweater’s warmth depends on its thickness, stitch density, yarn blend and fit—not just the fibre. Compare individual designs rather than assuming every alpaca sweater is warmer than every wool sweater.

Alpaca knitwear can relax with wear, especially in loose or heavy designs. Store it folded, avoid hanging it and support the garment when wet. Follow its care instructions and reshape gently while drying flat.

Weight depends on the amount of yarn, strand count, stitch density and garment size. A fine alpaca knit may feel light, while a thick cable or English rib design can be substantial. A fluffy appearance does not always mean a lightweight sweater.

No. The collection includes different alpaca yarns and blends, including designs combining alpaca with wool, merino or mohair. Read each product description for its specific composition.

Many designs allow size or measurement changes, subject to the model and yarn availability. Use our size guide and contact us with the product link to discuss the fit before ordering.
