We exclusively use baby alpaca wool, which yields the softest, finest yarns that are comparable to cashmere and mohair.
Alpaca wool is not itchy, which makes it highly suitable for people with sensitive skin.
Wool naturally pills when rubbed. A special device can be used to de-pill your garment without damaging it.
Alpaca wool should not be washed often. Hang your garments and allow to air out after wearing. If your garment could use a wash, read the care instructions before you begin. Alpaca wool has the tendency to shrink, so it should always be laid flat to dry to help it keep its shape.
Take care of your alpaca wool garments by reading the label on your Vanilia items for specific care instructions. The longer it lasts, the more sustainable it is.
