Why Choose Alpaca Wool for Baby Clothing?
Alpaca fibre is an exceptional natural material, making it ideal for delicate garments like babywear. Here’s why:
🧶 Hypoallergenic & Lanolin-Free
Unlike sheep’s wool, alpaca fibre contains no lanolin, which means it’s gentle on sensitive skin and a great option for babies or anyone with wool allergies.
❄️ Naturally Warm
Alpaca is a natural insulator—up to 30% warmer than sheep’s wool—keeping your little one cosy and snug in cooler weather.
🌬️ Lightweight & Breathable
Despite its warmth, alpaca is lightweight and breathable, helping to regulate body temperature in all seasons. It won’t overheat and stays soft against the skin.
💪 Durable & Shape-Holding
Alpaca fibres are strong and resilient. Your hand-knitted jumper will hold its shape beautifully and last through plenty of wear and washes.
About the Yarn
We use a luxurious blend of 95% Super Soft Baby Alpaca and 5% Merino wool, grown and spun right here in New Zealand. This 4ply yarn knits up beautifully, offering just the right balance of softness, warmth, and flexibility.
