Initially, the luxurious fibers from the alpaca were reserved for royalty, as the clothing made from them was highly coveted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This practice continued for centuries, and the animal was popular within the region until the Spanish Conquests of the 1500s, where Spanish colonizers sought to replace the alpacas of the region with animals that produced their preferred textile \u2013 wool from the merino sheep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, the popularity of the alpaca endured, and to this day Peru produces 4,501 tons of alpaca fiber annually<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, some of which we use in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/alpaca-throws-blankets\/\">alpaca throw blankets<\/a> that we offer at Silk &amp; Snow.

The answer is a lot of things! Alpaca fiber is naturally water and fire-resistant, making it a very safe fabric for use in the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another wonderful feature of alpaca fiber is the number of colours that the material naturally grows in. Unlike other animal-based materials which require extensive dyeing, alpaca fiber grows in 22 different neutral shades, allowing for a variety of beautiful natural shades. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alpaca throws<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we offer at Silk &amp; Snow contain zero synthetic dyes, as we utilize the full range of natural colours available to us from the beautiful fur of the Peruvian alpacas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of other benefits to alpaca fibers, which we will discuss in comparison to the more commonplace textile: sheep\u2019s wool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"two\">Is Alpaca Better Than Wool?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/alpaca-throws-blankets\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading='lazy' width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1301253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-515x386.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tanner-yould-nbklTnbXZ68-unsplash-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since both textiles are derived from the coats of fluffy animals, naturally many are curious as to how the two textiles compare to one another. While the Spanish conquistadors famously preferred their merino sheep to the alpacas native to Peru, presently alpaca fiber compares much more favourably to sheep\u2019s wool than it did centuries ago. Firstly, let\u2019s talk about softness. The softness of alpaca fiber is one of the most appealing qualities of the textile, especially when compared to the oftentimes scratchy nature of wool (the \u201cscratchiness\u201d of wool comes from the barbs of the wool, which appear like microscopic fishhooks).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the warmth of the materials, alpaca fiber has been proven to be warmer than sheep\u2019s wool, and that is due to the internal structure of each material. The fibers of an alpaca\u2019s coat are completely hollow, allowing warm air to be trapped inside of them. Conversely, sheep\u2019s wool is only partially hollow inside, which means it does not possess the same level of warmth retention as alpaca. This means we can produce lightweight alpaca blankets that maintain the warmth you need to stay comfortable. In fact, our alpaca wool blankets are warmer than sheep\u2019s wool, and possess only \u2153 of the weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another fantastic quality of alpaca (in comparison to wool) is the fact that alpaca is hypoallergenic because it does not contain any lanolin. Lanolin is a greasy substance secreted through the pores of sheep, who use it to protect their wool coats. Because of this, sheep\u2019s wool is not hypoallergenic, as some individuals can experience allergic reactions to the lanolin found in wool. You don\u2019t have to worry about any allergic reactions to alpaca fiber, due to a lack of lanolin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"three\">Is Alpaca Wool Itchy?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m sure all of us have received at least one itchy wool sweater for Christmas whilst growing up. Due to a couple of important factors, alpaca wool is not itchy, unlike sheep\u2019s wool. Many individuals find sheep\u2019s wool itchy due to the structure of sheep\u2019s hair, which resembles a barb or fishhook. This structure, in combination with the greasy lanolin that lines the hair of sheep, is what causes that \u201citchy\u201d or \u201cscratchy\u201d feeling that sheep\u2019s wool is infamous for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without any lanolin or a barbed structure, alpaca wool will never cause you to feel itchy, making it a great choice for blankets, sweaters, and socks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"four\">Is Alpaca Wool Sustainable?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/alpaca-throws-blankets\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading='lazy' width=\"2560\" height=\"1700\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1301222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-2048x1360.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-1200x797.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-515x342.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-480x319.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC_3443-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because alpaca is an animal product, we wanted to ensure that all the sourcing of the alpaca wool we use in our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alpaca throw blankets <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helped to promote sustainable (and ethical) practices in the Peruvian alpaca industry. As such, all the alpaca fiber we use in our beautiful blankets at Silk &amp; Snow is certified to be ethically and sustainably produced by SGS Peru, the nation\u2019s leader in inspections and certifications for eco-friendly products. The generational alpaca breeders we partner with share our values of sustainability, transparency, and eco-friendly manufacturing, and place them in high regard \u2013 just like us!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking in more general terms, however, alpaca fiber is considered to be an eco-friendlier material option when compared to alternatives (such as sheep\u2019s wool), because of the lack of that greasy substance we spoke about earlier: lanolin. To make wool suitable for apparel and home goods, it\u2019s often \u201csuperwashed\u201d to remove all traces of lanolin \u2013 making it nearly hypoallergenic as well. Unfortunately, this \u201csuperwashing\u201d process is taxing on the environment, due to the use of synthetic resins and chemicals<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By sticking to alpaca fiber, we also avoid the negative environmental impact of any chemical washing practices \u2013 which makes alpaca fiber more sustainable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"five\">What is Baby Alpaca?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Silk &amp; Snow, we use high-quality baby alpaca in our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alpaca throw blankets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But does that mean we are shearing baby animals? Not at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u201cbaby alpaca\u201d refers to the fineness of the fiber, which is measured in microns (microns measure the diameter of each alpaca fiber). Baby alpaca fiber is measured at 20.1 \u2013 22 microns, which indicates that the fiber is extremely fine, making it a great choice for garments or soft goods that will touch your skin, like a lovely, soft blanket! So when you\u2019re using your blanket made from baby alpaca, you can cuddle confidently knowing no baby animals were harmed in its production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Silk &amp; Snow Alpaca Throw Blankets<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/alpaca-throws-blankets\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading='lazy' width=\"2560\" height=\"1244\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1301276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-250x121.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-700x340.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-1536x746.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-2048x995.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-1200x583.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-120x58.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-515x250.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-480x233.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/studioshino_2119602_MARKED_Edited-copy-600x291.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Silk &amp; Snow, we\u2019ve paid close attention to every step of the production process for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/alpaca-throws-blankets\/\">alpaca throw blankets<\/a> \u2013 from how the alpaca fiber has been sourced, to how the finished product has been treated.
