Alpaca Sweaters

The benefits of alpaca fiber are aplenty. It manages moisture to keep you cool in hot temperatures and warm in the cold, it’s naturally odor-resistant, and it provides warmth even when it’s wet.

Unlike synthetic fibers, alpaca fiber is still harvested without the use of chemicals or pesticides. From shearing to wearing, the fabric can be created by hand—it only needs to be sorted, spun into yarn, dyed (if you need a pop of color), and knit or woven into a garment. Unlike cashmere or wool, alpaca doesn’t contain a waxy substance known as lanolin, so it doesn’t need to be treated to remove the lanolin before it’s spun into yarn. Once it turns into, say, your favorite shirt, it rarely needs to be washed because again, the fiber’s antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties reduce the need for endless wash/dry cycles.

Paka started with a single sweater crafted in Cusco Peru. You can read the story of that garment here.
