Woolen threads were used not only for making fabrics, but also for decorating clothes with embroidery. However, it was mostly sheep wool, since alpacas inhabit the high plateaus in the Andes, and the wool from one animal is small, only 300 grams, which justifies its high cost.

Reviews

In general, customers are satisfied with products made from this material. Many have paid attention to the special softness and tenderness of such wool, which certainly creates comfort and gives a feeling of comfort and coziness when worn. Some were particularly pleased with the hypoallergenicity of the material itself, since the coat of the hair of other animal species caused them to be allergic and they could not fully feel all the delights of using a coat made of natural wool.

However, there were also disgruntled customers who faced such a problem that their stylish thing sheds heavily, thus the appearance of clothes under the coat deteriorates. But this can be explained by poor quality and improper processing of wool in production, because if the manufacturer does everything correctly and according to technology, such problems should not arise.
