Alpaca product care

Our alpaca products

Alpaca fibers are delicate, so gentle care is essential to maintaining their quality.

Please, always check the specific care instructions before washing your alpaca products.

We partner with local Peruvian artisans to produce high-quality alpaca products using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Eco-friendly Fibers

As a natural fiber, alpaca is biodegradable and sustainable, making it an eco-friendly choice over synthetic materials.

Superior Quality

Meticulously handcrafted using the finest alpaca fibers, our products offer unparalleled softness and longevity when properly cared for.

Blankets & Throws

Caring for an alpaca blanket requires a gentle approach to maintain its luxurious softness. Alpaca fiber is naturally delicate, so follow these tips:
  • Blot any small stains gently with a damp cloth rather than rubbing, which can push stains deeper.

  • Give the blanket a good shake outdoors to remove dust and debris that can embed into fibers.

  • When hand-washing, limit agitation, wringing and twisting to avoid stretching or breaking the delicate fibers.

  • Lay flat on a towel or rack to air dry, shaping to original dimensions.

  • Don't hang or use direct heat.

  • Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable cotton or muslin bag. This prevents moisture and dust buildup.

  • Use an organic dry cleaning service when needed to maintain softness and avoid harsh chemicals.

Clothing & Accessories

Caring for alpaca clothing requires a gentle approach to maintain its softness. Follow these tips:
  • Blot stains with a damp cloth instead of rubbing, which can push stains deeper into the fibers.

  • Gently shake outdoors to remove dust and debris.

  • Hand wash with cold water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent for delicates. Handle gently when washing and rinsing to avoid stretching or damaging fibers.

  • Lay flat on a towel or rack to air dry, reshaping to original dimensions. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.

  • While damp, gently reshape to original size to prevent distortion. Use a hand steamer if needed to reshape, keeping a safe distance.

  • Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging heavy items or wrinkling.

  • Use padded hangers or fold.

  • Use natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar in storage areas.

  • Opt for organic dry cleaning when needed to maintain softness and avoid harsh chemicals.

Yarn

Caring for natural fibers like alpaca and wool requires gentle care to maintain softness, shape and longevity. Here’s how to care for your knitted products:
  • It's best to hand wash items in lukewarm water with a mild soap or detergent specifically for delicate fibers. Avoid too much agitation that can cause pilling.

  • Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water until all soap is removed. Avoid twisting, wringing or scrubbing.

  • Gently press water out and lay flat on a towel to absorb moisture.

  • Allow to fully air dry laid flat, away from direct sunlight or heat.

  • Store finished items in a cool, dry place. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or small scissors.

  • To reshape, consider steam blocking by holding a steam iron above the item and applying steam. Or wet block by soaking, reshaping and air drying the item.

  • Avoid exposing natural fibers to extreme temperatures.

  • Inspect and clean pieces before storage to prevent stains from setting in.

  • Always check the manufacturer's care label, as specific blends or dyes may have special requirements.
