Alpaca Wool Products
The Fleece of the Gods
Along with cashmere and silk, alpaca wool is one of the finest natural fibers. Softness, fineness and a unique shine make them extremely sought after. In their homeland, the wool is also called: “The fleece of the gods”.
Alpaca wool products are noble, fine and extremely breathable products that are durable, fire-retardant, light and warming. The wool is a very dry wool without lanolin. It is highly recommended for asthmatics and allergy sufferers.

Why the Quality of Alpaca Fibre Matters
The properties of products made from alpaca wool depend greatly on the quality of the fibre. Finer fibres feel especially soft and are ideally suited for clothing and bedding. At the same time, the structure of the fibre ensures warmth, lightness and breathability.
To produce high-quality alpaca clothing products, the length of the wool and the diameter of the fibers must be uniform. In addition, only white wool can be used to dye the wool in a modern color. Because we breed alpacas in all colors, we only have a certain amount of wool that meets these requirements. For this reason we do not make clothing from our own wool.
The majority of our wool, which we obtain from our annual shearing, finds its home in a successful partnership project producing bedding under the Best Alpaca Bedding™ brand. Only a selection of the best fleeces from our annual shearing are available for purchase as Alpaca raw wool which are sorted and packed individually, whereby can then have the wool processed further.
We have been working with the Swiss company APU Kuntur since 2004,
based in Kreuzlingen and Winterthur, as a reseller for their exquisite clothing and accessories made from alpaca wool. APU Kuntur is a family business that was founded in 1989 and today employs over 240 people in Peru and Europe.
As one of the first resellers of APU Kuntur products in Switzerland, we were impressed by the quality, design and their vision to create a “fair trade” environment for workers in Peru. Peru has over 3 million alpacas and a long tradition of producing alpaca wool products. Therefore, it only makes sense to support the talents of Peruvian textile families owned and operated by a Swiss company with deep Peruvian roots.
The alpaca products from APU Kuntur are characterized by their excellent quality, color combinations and modern designs. We are proud to be their reseller and our customers are continually blown away by the variety and quality of their amazing handicrafts.
Online Product Catalog
In our online product catalog you will find many examples of the products that are waiting for you in our Alparama® Farm Shop . Since our goal is to offer our customers a personal service, we deliberately do not have an online shop for our clothing and accessories products made from alpaca wool.
In this way, we can give our customers the opportunity to receive personal advice on the variety of all our products, from bedding to alpaca fur products, meat, raw wool and Terra Preta nutrient humus. This not only provides customers with quality customer service, but also avoids the consumption of expensive energy by sending products through the mail, accepting returns, etc., thereby reducing the impact on the environment.
