The focus of our production is end products for wholesale and retail. Alpaca Time uses only meticulously sorted and graded North American alpaca fibre to make each of its consistently high-quality end products. The processing of all of the products we produce is done only in Canada.
Long ago, alpaca fibre was called The Fibre of the Gods and was reserved for royalty. Today it is available to anyone wishing clothing made from a superior fibre.
Alpacas are shorn, without harm, once a year. In Canada, the average fibre harvest is five to eight pounds.
Alpaca fibre is sometimes compared to cashmere and has the luster of silk, making it even more desirable. It has no lanolin and is naturally hypoallergenic. Most people who are sensitive to wool can wear alpaca comfortably.
