Alpaca Bed Sock

Alpaca fiber from Montana ranches, like Sentinel Ranch Alpacas, is unique due to the pristine environment and careful breeding practices that ensure high-quality, soft, and durable fibers. The cool Montana climate contributes to the development of alpacas with thicker, more luxurious fleece.

Alpaca fabric should be cared for gently to preserve its natural beauty and softness. Hand wash or dry clean is recommended, depending on the product. Avoid high heat and do not tumble dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fiber integrity.

Yes, alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, which is often a cause of allergic reactions.
