What Are Alpaca Wool Quilts?

This alpaca duvet is the ideal bedding for those who want to stay warm without sacrificing weight or cosiness.

Quality craftsmanship by the Australian family-owned enterprise and the intrinsic qualities of alpacas wool go into making our Alpaca quilts, woven with 100% Tencel®* or cotton texture.

It's clear that this alpaca quilt takes full advantage of alpaca fleece's ability to retain heat even when used in extremely thin layers while still allowing air to circulate.

With no lanolin to worry about, alpaca bedding is a better option for those with wool allergies. Those who are sensitive to wool can still enjoy the benefits of sleeping under a duvet made from natural animal fibres thanks to the availability of alpaca options.

What Does Alpaca Fleece (Alpaca Fiber) For Alpaca Quilt Mean?

An alpaca's natural fibre, known as fleece, is used in textile production. It is a natural fibre that is both resilient and plush, lasting for a long time and retaining a silky texture. Compared to sheep's wool, alpaca fleece is similar, but it is warmer, hypoallergenic (since it lacks lanolin), and not spiky.

There is a wide range in price and quality of the finished products that may be crafted from alpaca fleece, from simple, inexpensive clothing crafted by indigenous groups to high-end, industrially produced items like suits.

Fleece from an alpaca animal is among the highest-quality, softest fibres available. To create the Woolcomfort Alpaca Quilt, the company developed a tried-and-true method of blending these fibres.

The "Soft GoldTM" Alpaca wool stuffing is covered in a Luxor CottonTM fabric that was developed specifically for this purpose. With this process, we are able to create an alpaca quilt that is unbelievably comfortable, as well as warm and breathable.

A natural fibre obtained by shearing an alpaca, alpaca fleece is a renewable resource. The fibres are strong, lightweight, comfortable, and smooth. Because it lacks the lanolin that gives wool its scratchy texture, alpaca fleece is soft and hypoallergenic.

Once the alpaca is sheared, the fleece can be turned into a variety of items, from simple, inexpensive clothing for local communities to sophisticated, industrially manufactured, sumptuous items like comforters.

Fibre Structure Of Alpaca?

The structure of alpaca fibre is quite similar to that of sheep wool. The difference between it and sheep's wool is in its surface texture, which is much smoother and softer than that of sheep's wool.

The diameter of an alpaca or sheep's fibre is a highly heritable characteristic. The desired lustre of alpaca is created by the fibres' different scale sizes as compared to sheep wool.

The tensile strength of alpaca fibres is greater than that of wool fibres. Processing slivers or single alpaca rovings results in fibres that don't hold together. The combination of these improves durability by a factor of three or more.

What Are The Benefits Of An Alpaca Quilt?

The fineness and smoothness of alpaca fleece makes it a sought-after commodity. When compared to other fibres, nothing beats its softness, comfort, and durability when used as bedding.

• Warmer for the same weight as hollow fibre: Pure and simple, it's the cosiest fibre for every season. Because alpaca fibres are naturally insulating due to the presence of tiny air pockets, it is an ideal material to wear throughout the colder months. In addition to providing excellent breathability, the air pockets help to trap air, keeping you cool even on the hottest of days. When it comes to keeping warm, a high-quality lightweight sweater crafted from Alpaca wool is superior to many cotton sweatshirts.
• Weight: Due in part to the presence of these small air pockets, Alpaca fibres are extremely lightweight.
• Stronger (per same fineness): The fibres of an alpaca's wool are extremely fine, light, and smooth. Although it is a high-end fibre, it is surprisingly sturdy and long-lasting. High-quality Alpaca garments, if cared for properly, can become treasured family heirlooms.
• Skin is softer, less scratchy, and less irritating. Weaving with alpaca results in a very smooth fabric. Alpaca fibre is inherently smooth and silky because it lacks scales, unlike the fibre from its near relative, wool. Bambi uses the finest alpaca fleece available, which comes from the Super Fine Alpaca. This fleece is around 16-18 microns in thickness, giving it a luxurious, cashmere-like feel. To put this in perspective, the average human hair is at least 100 microns in diameter, making alpaca fibre five times thicker.
• Hypoallergenic by nature. When compared to sheep, alpacas provide no risk and contain no lanolin, a common allergen for some people. Alpaca fleece is considered a "dry-fibre" because it lacks the lanolin seen in other types of fleece. In addition to being hypoallergenic, the lack of processing needed for a "dry fibre" makes it an extremely sustainable material.
• Because it does not contain lanolin, alpaca does not attract or retain dirt or dust, therefore it can be worn for longer periods of time without looking dirty.
• Less shrinkage (washable)
• Defends itself against the odours that it has picked up (odours dissipate overnight)
• It's eco-friendly because it's made from natural, biodegradable materials.
• Alpaca fleece is able to absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in moisture, meaning that it will keep you dry, toasty, and cool all year round.
• Superior tensile strength, guaranteeing longevity and use.
• Being lanolin-free means that the fibre may be cleaned without the use of harsh chemicals.
• Prevents fires by their very nature
• Nearly Waterproof: Alpaca fibre is nearly watertight. That's because hair doesn't soak up water like a sponge, but rather, it forms thin layers across the skin. This capacity is due to the hollow nature of the fibre, which increases heat retention and mechanically expels water. This makes alpaca resistant to odour and mildew when kept in suitable conditions.

The alpaca's fleece is exceptionally soft and lightweight. It does not absorb or hold onto moisture, acts as an insulator even when wet, and provides excellent protection from the sun's rays. These features ensure that the animals will always have an enough coat to withstand the wide temperature swings that they must endure. Humans also benefit from the protection provided by this fibre.

Alpaca Fleece Quilts And Duvets Features And Benefits

The alpaca's fleece is incredibly luxurious. It doesn't need to be chemically treated like sheep's wool does because it's already quite clean and contains no lanolin. The semi-hollow structure of alpaca fleece contributes to its exceptional lightweight feel and high thermal efficiency.

Bedding made from unprocessed alpaca fleece has a wonderful hand and drape, and it is hypoallergenic. As an added bonus, alpaca fleece is able to absorb moisture, keeping the bedding toasty in the winter and cool in the summer.

The Incas of South America are said to have been gifted alpacas, and the kings of that era were the only ones allowed to wear their luxurious fleece. To this day, alpaca fleece remains one of the most coveted and exotic animal fibres available.

Having been brought to Australia for business purposes beginning 30 years ago, alpacas are now flourishing in the local environment. Around 125,000 of these stunning, high-functioning creatures currently call Australia home. The luxurious bedding made in Australia is made from the wool of Australian-raised alpacas.

• The semi-hollow nature of alpaca fibres means they trap heat and keep you toasty.
• With such a high warmth-to-weight ratio, a bulky quilt is unnecessary. Since alpaca is a fully hollow fibre, it has a tremendous capacity for insulating against the cold and the heat and is remarkably easy to work with. Yocum-McCall Testing Laboratories found that alpaca fibre is three times warmer than sheep's wool.
• Super soft and gorgeous to the touch.
• Outstanding moisture absorption for restful night's sleep.

His & Hers Alpaca Gold Quilt

If you and your partner both get too hot or too cold when sleeping, the Alpaca Gold His & Hers Quilts are the perfect solution. This is a difficulty that many couples face.

Multiple stores requested the Kelly & Windsor Alpaca Gold His & Hers Quilts after hearing from customers whose partners' contrasting thermal requirements were disrupting a good night's rest.

For one couple, a thicker, warmer quilt was ideal, while the other prefered a lighter, cooler option. Making a quilt with two different temperatures on opposite sides was the answer to the dilemma. Simple!

The His & Hers quilt is made by first distributing a layer of pure combed alpaca fleece with a weight of 300 gsm across the full width of the quilt, and then spreading a second layer of pure alpaca fleece with a weight of 200 gsm over one half of the quilt to form a thermal air pocket that will improve the warmth of the quilts.

The Alpaca Gold His & Hers Quilt is the solution if you and your partner want the best possible comfort while you sleep.

Alpaca Wool Quilt Zealaner

The alpaca is a quiet and gentle animal that has been tamed for almost 6,000 years yet is still relatively unknown. They are related to llamas and are also cloven-hoofed mammals belonging to the Camelidae family. From South America comes the alpaca, whose luxurious fleece was highly valued by the Incas.

Compared to mohair, the fleece is much finer and softer, and it also provides more insulation. Because the fibre contains no lanolin, it is mild enough for use on even the most delicate skin.

We could have used any of Zealaner Logo Printed fleece colours for our quilt, but settled on classics like white and gold. 

Due to its exceptional properties, alpaca fibre is considered to be one of the world's most expensive natural fibres. The fibre from the vicua, a wild mammal native to the Andes that is thought to be the origin of the domesticated alpaca, has even higher quality.

Fleeces designed for quilting inners have a special fibre quality that makes them both warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are many tiny air spaces within each fibre that expand and contract depending on the temperature.

Why Does An Alpaca Blanket Work Better?

An alpaca blanket is a highly prized possession for keeping warm at home, especially during the colder months. Alpaca wool is a high-quality fabric with many desirable properties, and alpaca wool blankets and other textiles will last for many years of comfortable use with the right care.

Alpaca fleece has been found to be three times stronger and five times warmer than sheep's wool, although being significantly lighter.

While both Gore-Tex and goose-down comforters are considered to be among the warmest textiles used in winter blankets, alpaca products are superior in terms of keeping users warm and dry. It's as luxurious as silk and stunning as cashmere to the touch. In addition to naturally repelling water and surface filth, the fabric's natural essential oils also make it itchy-free.

The finest Royal and Baby Alpaca textiles are graded at 23 microns, while lesser grades fall between 20 and 23 microns.

Some consumers are ready to pay more for the highest quality alpaca blankets and clothing, which are the softest, lightest, and most durable available.

Animal farmers in a wide variety of nations nurture alpacas for their kindness and endearing personalities. The fleece of various alpaca breeds varies somewhat in texture. Because they are so genetically diverse, you can get fleece in no less than 22 distinct colours, ranging from white to black. Since they are related to camels, they can get along on a diet of grasses and hay rather than water.

The use of alpaca in the production of blankets, throws, and other textiles is an example of proactive "green" manufacturing that helps businesses lower production costs and provide products with lower synthetic content.

As the globe becomes more environmentally concerned in the 21st century, this tendency has ripple effects throughout several sectors.
