Alpaca Fiber Yarn. Alpaca fibers have smooth shaft, providing a softer feel than wool while being surprisingly lightweight. It's also softer and warmer than wool.
When made into batting alpaca wool has many advantages for the quilter:
* Very light and soft
* Fibers are smooth
* Warm
* Like wool, alpaca stays warm when wet
* Contains no lanolin
* Is hypoallergenic
* No 'wet wool smell' when wet
* Tends to be lofty
* Very durable fiber
* About 2% shrinkage after first washing
* Fibers are needle-punched and contain no binders or resins
* Very easy to work with on longarm machines
