There are actually two main different type of alpaca wool: the classic alpaca wool and the Baby alpaca wool. The Baby alpaca wool is different from the classic alpaca wool because it is a softer and thinner wool. It is rarer. Unlike what most people believe, Baby alpaca wool does not come from a small alpaca. It comes from the first shearing of the alpaca. Then, its wool is thinner, longer and softer than usual. That is why at BellePaga, we have decided to use almost only Baby alpaca wool in our products. We seek to create the most soft, warm and comfortable products and therefore we try to use the highest quality wool possible. You will be able to find on our website many items made out of Baby alpaca wool.

Alpaca wool socks are famous for keeping your feet warm and comfortable, but what are all the virtues of the alpaca? Alpaca wool has many virtues and properties. The first one would be: warmth. Alpaca wool is a very warm wool, seven times warmer than sheep’s wool. Alpaca wool is also thermoregulatory, that means that it will keep your feet warm but never too warm which will prevent them from sweating. This is possible because an alpaca is an animal that lives in the Andes Mountains. There, temperature can vary up to 40 degrees during the same day. Therefore, an alpaca has to adapt to these temperature changes. Its wool is therefore thermoregulatory. Alpaca wool is also very soft. It is often compared to cashmere but presents all the advantages of cashmere without all the negative aspects. It is also very light. Wearing items made out of alpaca wool will make your feet warm but never heavy due to the huge numbers of layer you are wearing. It is the perfect wool to wear under your coat. Alpaca wool is also durable. It does not pill and is 4 times stronger than sheep’s wool. If taken care properly, your alpaca wool socks, and other items made of alpaca wool can last many years. Alpaca wool is also hypoallergenic. It is a wool that is not treated and does not contain lanolin. Therefore, even the most sensitive skins can wear alpaca wool items. Finally, alpaca wool is also very ecological. First, it is ecological because an alpaca has a very low ecological footprint. An alpaca does not consume a lot and it does not squash the grass it walks on as it only has little cushions on its feet. Alpacas also are very ecological because they don’t pull the grass they eat but only cut it near the root. That allows the grass to grow back easier and quicker.
