I want to clear something up because I think people are curious about the whereabouts of the Alpaca materials.

No, Alpacas are NOT killed for their fiber!

And no, it does not hurt the Alpaca when it is being sheared!

In fact, Alpacas are sheared once per year, when their coats are really, really warm and heavy. Usually, this is in the Spring time so they do not overheat in the Summer and warmer months. How convenient? Shearing an Alpaca is a natural and necessary process.

To learn more about the Alpaca, check out Mayu’s video, “What is Alpaca”
