About Alpaca : Originally bred by the South American Inca over 5,000 years ago, they discovered that the shorn fleece from the Alpaca was incredibly luxurious, warm and soft, calling it – ‘Fibre of the Gods’ . Alpacas are now being reared throughout the world, and here in New Zealand.
ABOUT ALPACA:
Alpaca fleece is a beautiful natural fibre that is lustrously soft. It is different to ‘wool’ as it doesn’t contain lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.
– It is exceptionally pleasant to the touch as it doesn’t have that prickly feel sometimes associated with certain types of sheep wool. It’s also very strong and durable.
– Alpaca wool is similar to possum fur with a naturally occurring hollow core to its fibres. This gives it extreme warmth and creates natural insulation.
– Alpaca were first bred for their fleece by the Inca in South America. They found the fleece so luxurious they named it the ‘Fibre of the Gods’, and has been a sort after wool for thousands of years! In more current times, you will find Alpaca in other regions of the world including New Zealand.
AGOYA (Akoya) SHELL BUTTONS:
– These buttons are made from shells that are a by-product of the pearl industry, made from saltwater mother of pearl.
