Peruvian Alpacas live in their natural habitat. Living in the proper altitude/climate and eating their regular diet, allows them to grow high quality, healthy fur.
Alpacas have soft feet instead of hooves, so they do not harm the soil.
Alpaca's sharp teeth cut grass instead of pulling the grass from the soil. This allows grass to continue growing.
Alpaca fiber does not contain oil, unlike sheep's wool and cashmere. So, its cleaning process requires very little water and no harsh chemicals.
Alpacas produce more fiber than sheep per year. Due to their efficient digestion.
Alpacas require shearing once per year to avoid overheating, and they are not harmed during the shearing process.
