What does Baby Alpaca mean?

The name Baby Alpaca is often thought to come from the fact that the wool is collected from young alpacas. In reality, even an old alpaca can produce Baby Alpaca-level fiber. Baby Alpaca fiber (≤ 22 µm) is so fine that it can be placed against the baby's skin. Hence the designation.

The Royal Alpaca fiber we use (≤ 18 µm) is even finer than the Baby Alpaca fiber. From us you can get baby overalls and toddler pants and sweaters made to order.
