*What is Baby Alpaca? It is actually a common misconception that baby alpaca wool is obtained by shaving a baby alpaca. This type of wool actually comes from the first shave in an alpaca's life. Baby alpaca is an extra fine grade alpaca, comparable to the softness of cashmere, and will always be more costly than standard alpaca wool products because not only is the fibre much softer but also because you can only get baby alpaca wool once in an animal's lifetime.
