Alpaca wool originated from South America and is known there as the “Fibre of the Gods”. Alpacas are part of the camel family (Camelidae family) and there are 2 types of alpaca:

Huacaya - the most common type whose fleece is similar to sheep in that it has crimping along the length of the fleece & the fleece grows outwards from the body.

Suri - the fleece grows in a spiral formation and hangs directly down from the body like a curtain.

Colour - there are over 22 natural colours in alpacas, ranging from white, to a variety of fawns, browns, greys & black.

Most often Huacaya alpaca wool is used for bedding, and because it is so soft it is often mixed with sheep wool. Alpaca can be warmer than sheep's wool because its fibres have hollow cores, like polar bear or camel hair, which acts like an insulator by holding in your natural body heat. We prefer sheep wool as this helps to naturally regulate sleeping temperature and is perfect for the Australian climate.
