The reasons why our customers are so satisfied with their alpaca knits
Here are the main reasons why alpaca knitwear is so high-quality and versatile for all seasons. On the basis of research conducted on high-quality and untreated alpaca fiber and Ruukki Kehräämö's customer surveys, we have arrived at the following characteristics emphasized by our customers:
1. Thermal insulation
Alpaca fiber is known for its excellent thermal insulation. It keeps its wearer warm in cold weather without the sweater feeling heavy. This is due to the unique structure of the fiber, which creates microscopic air pockets. The air trapped inside and between the fibers acts as a thermostat in all weathers.
2. Light and Strong
Although alpaca is a light material, it is also the strongest animal fiber in terms of tensile strength. This makes it an excellent material for long-lasting and durable knitwear, which Finns know how to appreciate. In addition to durability, alpaca knits are great for layering, making them ideal for changing weather conditions.
3. Softness
High-quality alpaca fiber, especially Royal Alpaca, is known for its softness, which makes the sweaters incredibly comfortable against the skin. Our alpaca sweaters do not contain industrial dyes, they are truly hypoallergenic and natural, and therefore also suitable for very sensitive skin.
4. Natural Shine
Alpaca has a natural sheen that gives the knitwear a rich and luxurious look. This shine is maintained over time. It does not wear out, as is often the case with synthetic fibers.
5. Water resistance
One of the most remarkable properties of alpaca wool is its ability to repel water more effectively than other wool fibers. This means it will keep you dry and warm, even in erratic weather conditions. Unlike many other wool fibers, alpaca wool does not absorb water, but always feels dry, which is perfect for the rainy and humid weather conditions in Finland.
6. Heat Regulation
Alpaca regulates heat effectively, so it keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the warm. This makes it the perfect material for all seasons, whether it's a summer evening or mid-winter frost.
7. Resistance to Damage
Alpaca wool naturally resists dirt, odors and UV radiation, which helps the sweater stay in good condition for a long time. This feature makes the alpaca sweater an easy-care and durable choice.
