Alpaca is High Fashion

People are often asking me, “What is “royal alpaca?” and “What is superfine?” How do you know? There are a few different charts and ways to determine. I will be posting a few in the coming weeks. Here is one used by the company Inca Tops:

• Royal Alpaca 19-20 Fiber Length 56-60 mm 2″-2.2″
• Baby Alpaca 22-23 Fiber Length >64mm 2.5″
• Superfine Alpaca 25-26.5 Fiber Length > 65mm 2.6″
• Vicuna 11-14 micron 30-50 mm1-2″
