A little about alpacas and the type of quality you are getting in this coat: Suri alpacas are rare and make up only 5% of the worlds alpaca population. Out of 37,000 Alpacas registered in the UK, there are only 2,000 Suris. They are genetically dominant (so if you cross breed a pure Suri with a Huacaya you end up with a Suri). What is the quality of Suri alpacas? The fibers obtained from the suri alpaca have unique properties that also make them more expensive than other alpaca breeds. On the skin, the suri alpaca fiber leaves an indescribable feeling of freshness and softness, almost comparable to cashmere. It is generally warmer than wool and has the sheen of silk. Alpaca is a sustainable alternative that is not only good for the earth, but for all of us. Alpaca wool is stronger, softer, more eco-friendly, and offers 85% greater wicking capability than merino wool. It is also hypoallergenic! Is Suri alpaca itchy? Superior Suri softness: While this yarn may look like Mohair, it has none of the itchiness.
