Deshalb enthalten unsere Pullover mindestens 60% Alpakawolle
Alpaca sweaters made from 100 percent alpaca wool are much harder to find than alpaca-wool blends. The large fashion chains mostly use blends for their alpaca pullovers, which usually only contain between 15% and 30% alpaca. The far greater proportion of such a pullover is made up of conventional sheep's wool, nylon and, to a small extent, elastane. The reason for this is that blended fabrics with alpaca content can also be called alpaca pullovers. Many buyers do not look closely and do not know that their alpaca sweater hardly contains any alpaca wool.
In our collection you will only find 100 percent alpaca sweaters, because only then can the alpaca wool develop its properties. The most well-known advantage of alpaca wool is its comfort, as it is warm and, in the highest baby alpaca quality, also soft and non-scratchy. If you mix alpaca wool with other fibers, not only are its special properties lost, but it can also become scratchy. This is because fibers are different lengths and thicknesses, and coarser fibers do not combine well with the fine baby alpaca fibers.
Alpaca wool is obtained from the fur of alpacas. The South American camels are bred and dependent on human care. For thousands of years, their fine fur has been used to make high-quality natural fiber clothing such as warm cardigans or soft scarves.
Warum wir Alpaka teilweise mit Nylon kombinieren
So hochwertig reine Alpakawolle auch ist – in manchen Fällen kann eine geringe Beimischung von Nylon sinnvoll sein. Hochwertige synthetische Fasern erhöhen die Strapazierfähigkeit und Elastizität des Pullovers und sorgen dafür, dass besonders beanspruchte Bereiche wie Bündchen, Schultern oder Nähte formstabil bleiben.
Wir setzen solche Mischungen ausschließlich dort ein, wo sie einen echten funktionalen Mehrwert bieten – etwa bei alltagstauglichen Modellen, die besonders dehnbar und robust sein sollen. Dabei bleibt der Anteil an Alpakawolle stets sehr hoch und liegt bei mindestens 60 %.
So verbinden wir die natürlichen Vorteile von Alpakawolle – Wärme, Weichheit und Temperaturregulierung – mit zusätzlicher Alltagstauglichkeit. Das Ergebnis sind hochwertige Alpaka Pullover, die sich außergewöhnlich weich anfühlen und gleichzeitig langlebig bleiben.

Alpaca pullover 100% animal friendly
So that buyers can rely on wool that is free from animal cruelty in good conscience, there are certificates such as the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS), which ensures that the New World camelids are used in a way that is appropriate for animal welfare. We only make our clothing from RAS-certified wool, as we make no compromises when it comes to animal welfare. Alpaca wool should not be demonized as animal cruelty due to a few reports, as it has secured the livelihood of the rural population in Peru and other countries, both then and now.
This makes Alpaca sweaters 100 percent unique
Maximum comfort
Unlike merino or cashmere, alpaca wool is available in five different qualities, which differ in their softness and price. Baby alpaca is the softest alpaca wool and does not scratch. It is the rarest alpaca fiber, as it is only obtained from protected body parts of adult alpacas. Only around 200 grams of baby alpaca out of a total of up to six kilograms of wool per animal is obtained from alpaca shearing. Baby alpaca sweaters are not only softer than conventional alpaca wool, but also warmer and have a noble sheen.
Warmest wool
Alpaca wool is not only the warmest wool in the world , but is also suitable for all seasons thanks to the thermoregulation of its fibers. In the high Andes mountains, where alpacas live, they are exposed to extreme weather fluctuations. Their wool has adapted to this harsh environment; the alpaca fiber contains hollow spaces that warm at low temperatures and dissipate heat at higher temperatures. A coat for all seasons, for us that means thin alpaca sweaters for spring and summer and thick, warm wool sweaters made of 100 percent alpaca wool for the cold season.
Temperaturregulierend
Die natürliche Hohlfaserstruktur der Alpakawolle passt sich deinem Körperklima an. Dadurch hält sie angenehm warm, ohne dass du ins Schwitzen gerätst.
Breathable
Your 100 percent alpaca pullover should not only keep you warm, but also not make you sweat. You are well advised to use breathable alpaca wool that wicks away moisture. Merino wool also has similar breathable properties, which makes it popular for outdoor clothing.
Best skin feeling
Alpaca wool is suitable for allergy sufferers because the wool has natural, hypoallergenic properties. Due to the low lanolin (wool fat) content, alpaca wool can be washed less often. Alpaca wool neutralizes bacteria that cause odors. It is dirt-repellent, dries quickly and, as an easy-care fiber, can also be washed in the washing machine.
Pflegeleicht & selbstreinigend
Alpakawolle ist schmutzabweisend und nimmt Gerüche nur langsam an. Oft genügt bereits einfaches Auslüften an der frischen Luft.
Wie wasche ich meinen Pullover aus 100 % Alpakawolle?
Alpaka Pullover sind pflegeleichter, als viele denken. Dank der robusten und langlebigen Fasern behalten sie auch bei regelmäßigem Waschen ihre Form und Weichheit.
Am besten wäschst du deinen Alpaka Pullover im Wollprogramm der Waschmaschine oder per Handwäsche bei maximal 30 °C. Verwende ein mildes Wollwaschmittel und verzichte auf Weichspüler. Die Schleuderzahl sollte möglichst niedrig sein – idealerweise maximal 600 Umdrehungen pro Minute.
Nach dem Waschen solltest du den Pullover liegend trocknen lassen. Auf Trockner und starkes Bügeln solltest du verzichten, damit die feinen Naturfasern dauerhaft weich und formstabil bleiben.
