Keep Your Luxury Wool Looking Its Best
Alpaca wool is one of the finest natural fibers in the world—soft, breathable, and remarkably durable. With a little thoughtful care, your alpaca clothing and accessories can stay in beautiful condition for years to come.
👉 Please refer to the Fabric & Care section on each product page for the most accurate, item-specific care details.
🧼 1. Washing Alpaca Wool
For best results, hand wash your alpaca garments in cold water using a gentle wool detergent, or professionally dry clean.
- Never tumble dry or expose alpaca to direct heat or sunlight, as this can shrink or damage the fiber.
- Always lay flat to dry on a clean towel and gently reshape the item if needed.
🧴 2. Spot Cleaning & Brushing
- Gently dab small stains with a damp cloth—avoid rubbing.
- Refresh between wears by airing out your garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Use a soft garment brush to remove surface fuzz—always brush in the direction of the fibers.
🧳 3. Proper Storage
To help your alpaca stay plush and beautiful through the seasons:
- Fold rather than hang to prevent stretching.
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable cotton or linen bag.
- Add cedar blocks or lavender sachets to repel moths naturally.
- For longer storage, use a sealed container with airflow to prevent moisture buildup.
✨ 4. Ironing or Steaming Alpaca
Most alpaca garments won’t need ironing—but if they do:
- Use a cool iron or steamer only.
- Always place a cloth between the iron and the garment.
- Never apply heat directly to the alpaca fabric.
