Alpaca Accessories Every Alpaca Lover Should Own
Alpacas have evolved fur unlike any other to keep warm in Peru's frigid Andes mountains. Its fur feels as delicate as a cloud to the touch. And the warmth it emits is unparalleled. Cashmere, as we all know, is wonderfully soft and pleasant, but Alpaca is simply unparalleled. Wearing alpaca clothing implies participating in an ethical, social, sustainable, and solidarity-based economic strategy while also enjoying the remarkable features of this fiber.
You have to test it for yourself to believe it. It is a truly versatile fiber, hence why Peruvian artisans have been crafting all kinds of garments and accessories with it. We've gathered a list of some of the accessories everyone should try. We promise you it'll be worth it, you might not want to stop until your collection has been completed. Without further ado, I present to you the essential alpaca accessories
Outdoor enthusiasts remark that its decreased weight and increased warmth offer them more comfort in colder weather but you must not think that Alpaca Hats / Beanies only purpose is to improve your active lifestyle, their stylish designs will make you stand out!
And that's not all. Perhaps you've never considered the perks of wearing an Alpaca Hat in the snow or rain.

You're practically prepared for anything!

Perhaps you’ve read somewhere about how amazing Alpaca Socks are and you’re wondering if you should give them a try? Let me tell you. Alpaca is a fiber with a semi-hollow center. Due to this alpaca clothing is inherently insulating. The air is held in the inner core of the fiber, and moisture naturally wicks up and out.
As a result, Alpaca Socks excel at keeping your feet dry and up to 3 times warmer than regular wool socks while remaining lightweight and breathable. Unlike most socks, Alpaca Socks can absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture while still retaining all of their warmth and thermal regulating characteristics.
Nothing is worse than wandering about at midnight, half asleep, yearning for a warm blanket. You should always keep one on hand. Even better if it's made of alpaca wool. This natural fiber is similar to sheep's wool, but it really is softer, warmer, and does not contain an ounce of lanolin.
Lanolin is a kind of grease that causes allergies in many people, mostly itching. Alpaca fiber is 100% hypoallergenic since it does not contain this substance. Blankets constructed of these silky and luxuriant fibers will provide you with the ultimate comfort when cuddling on the couch on a cold night.
Last but not least we wanted to mention the alpaca gloves. If you happen to leave in an area with a harsh climate or tend to visit places where the temperature is low, I can't think of a reason why you should not have a pair already! They come in lovely colors and some even have designs that depict ancient Peruvian tradition. You'll feel like you're taking a piece of history with you everywhere you go.
At this point, I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you that the warmth provided by a pair of alpaca gloves is unmatched by any and all gloves made of another fabric. So I'd advise you not to waste your time while you can get the best that's available, right here.
