Alpaca is a type of wool that is derived from the fibers that grow naturally on alpacas. Alpacas are native to South America. Wool derived from alpacas can be either heavy or light depending on how it is spun, which means that it is ideal for weaving fibers for both summer and winter shawls. Compared to sheep wool for example alpaca wool is considerably softer, and more durable. The SOOMI'O collection of shawls includes a variety of premium Alpaca scarves and shawls for both seasons.
