Ethical, Durable, and Sustainable
Fairly produced, long-lasting, and kind to the planet—this is the wool that checks all the boxes.
The magic of alpaca wool goes beyond just comfort. It’s one of the most sustainable fibers out there. Alpacas have an incredibly small environmental footprint, and their wool is strong, durable, and rarely needs washing. Plus, it’s biodegradable and requires minimal chemical treatment during production.
At Yanantin Alpaca, we use wool that is fairly produced, ethically sourced, and animal-friendly. Our producers work with local, small-scale farmers, giving them the stability and efficiency of partnering with larger cooperatives.
Baby Alpaca Wool
Baby alpaca is all about next-level softness—it’s finer and silkier than regular alpaca wool. And no, it’s not from baby alpacas! The name refers to the fiber’s grade, and since alpacas’ wool gets coarser with age, the softest fibers are usually shorn earlier in life. Sourced mostly from the “blanket” area (aka, the back—where the softest wool grows), baby alpaca is truly a luxury fiber.
Now, imagine a wool that’s light, luxurious, and totally itch-free—perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. Baby alpaca is an absolute dream for little ones too, with its incredible thermoregulatory properties that keep babies snug and warm without overheating. It’s like the ultimate cozy, breathable hug that stays just right—whether for a baby or an adult.
