Considered by many to be the most sustainable fiber on earth, Alpacas live in their natural habitat, allowing them to grow high quality, healthy fur. They have feet instead of hooves that do not harm soil. Their sharp teeth allows them to cut grass instead of pulling it from the soil, allowing it to grow. Alpaca fiber does not contain oil, unlike sheep's wool and cashmere. So, its cleaning process requires very little water and no harsh chemicals. Alpacas produce more fiber than sheep per year. Due to their efficient digestion. Alpacas require shearing once per year to avoid overheating, and they are not harmed during the shearing process.
