The alpaca has been bred as a wool-producing animal

Did you know?
The alpaca has been bred as a wool-producing animal.
Kerinta is the cornerstone of the alpaca's well-being. Since alpaca is bred to produce wool, not picking it is harmful to the animal's well-being.

Wool suitable for spinning is collected quickly and painlessly by a professional, which is safe for both the alpaca and the entire collection team.

Ruukki Kehräämö's alpacas are harvested once a year, and anyone interested in the matter is welcome to follow the harvesting process.

Harvesting is carried out every spring before the beginning of the harvest season. The collection day is decided according to the weather and temperature.
