Why Are The Alpaca Blankets From AC The Best Choice?

We still have a few weeks left of warm weather, but those chilly months are right around the corner. Believe it or not, it’s already September! And well, fall doesn't officially start until September 22nd, but to some of us, it starts the second August ends. Hence why we think it's better for you to start prepping your house for the cooler season. 

There’s nothing worse than roaming around at midnight, half asleep looking for a warm blanket. So make sure to have one at hand. Even better if it's made out of alpaca wool. You see, this natural fiber is similar to sheep’s wool, although it is softer, warmer, and does not have an ounce of lanolin. Lanolin is a kind of grease that causes allergies to many people, mostly itching. Since Alpaca fiber does not contain this substance, it is completely hypoallergenic. Blankets made out of these soft and luxurious fibers will give you the utmost comfort when you’re snuggling on the couch during a cold night.

Alpaca are raised by small herding communities in the Andes, mostly in Peru. These animals are treasured and treated respectfully as their fleece represents the main source of income for many small independent Peruvian herdsmen. Its fiber is truly an amazing natural substance. It has thermal properties due to microscopic air bubbles found inside the hair. It allows the user to “breathe” through the fibers during hot weather days or retain body heat on a cold night. 

There is a huge selection of blankets in the market, coming in different sizes and compositions. Most blankets are made of synthetic fabrics that try to imitate the feel that natural fibers provide. We strongly believe that the Alpaca Blankets from Alpaca Collections are your best option because the fiber has been proven to be durable, comfortable, lightweight, modern, amazingly soft to the touch (even compared to cashmere), environmentally friendly, and renewable. That's why we consider most fabrics don't stand a chance against Alpaca Fiber. Whether you're buying our coats, sweaters, scarves, or anything at all, we can guarantee it'll look and feel amazing on you.
