Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our alpaca fiber apparel.
What makes alpaca fiber different from sheep wool?
Alpaca fiber is naturally hypoallergenic, softer than cashmere, and provides superior thermal regulation without the itchiness associated with traditional wool.
How should I wash my PAKA® garments?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry to maintain the shape and integrity of the natural fibers.
Are your products ethically sourced?
Yes, we work directly with Peruvian artisans and ensure our alpaca fiber is sourced using sustainable, cruelty-free shearing practices.
Does alpaca wool shrink?
Like all natural fibers, it can shrink if exposed to high heat. Always avoid tumble drying and hot water.
Where are your products manufactured?
Our products are ethically handcrafted in Peru, supporting local communities and preserving traditional weaving techniques.
Is alpaca fiber moisture-wicking?
Yes, alpaca fiber is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it wicks moisture away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable.
