Ethically sourced alpaca wool from the Andean highlands of Peru, encased in OCS-certified organic cotton. Naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and free of synthetic fills and chemical flame retardants — available in lightweight and all-season weights. The Fill Alpaca wool is one of nature's most refined insulating fibers. Adapted to the extreme temperature swings of the Andes, it contains microscopic air pockets that create a remarkably breathable yet insulating layer — warm in winter, cool in summer, with natural moisture-wicking that keeps you sleeping comfortably year-round. Once reserved for Incan royalty, alpaca wool is prized for a silky feel that rivals cashmere, and contains less lanolin than other wool types, making it a preferred choice for those with wool sensitivities or sensitive skin. Our alpaca is carefully shorn from free-range alpacas raised in the Andean highlands of Peru, sourced through direct partnerships with Peruvian suppliers that support traditional herding communities and sustainable farming practices.
