The
alpaca is a South American mammal closely related to the llama. The
natural habitat of the alpaca is the peaceful meadows and grasslands
of the high Andes in central Peru where the temperature never exceeds
60, which is the reason for the thick beautiful fur. Herd of alpacas
graze almost wild on high plateaus, thousands of feet above sea level.
These animals are most commonly kept in herds by the Native South
Americans in the highlands of Peru. Rather than a beast of burden,
the alpaca is kept primarily for its wool, whose natural colors can
vary from white and silver to a stunning array of browns, blacks,
reds, or greys. This color palette is skillfully used by our artisans
to create a series of dramatic designs, both abstract and realistic
to suit a wide variety of tastes and decorative motifs. Completely
natural and handmade, no two of our rugs are exactly alike. Alpaca
fiber is elastic and strong and is straighter, silkier, and far warmer
than sheep's wool. It is in fact, longer and softer even than llama's
wool. It is one of the best fibers known for making warm, soft material.
This combination of lightness, softness, and warmth make our alpaca
rugs a cloud-soft experience. And the strength of fine alpaca means
that your rug will be an eye-attracting pleasure for years to come.
Truly an internet luxury. |
Cleaning: Normally you will find that alpaca is quite durable and
easy to care for. It does not yellow or fade, nor does it attract
much dirt or dust. To clean the fur, brush with a dog brush. Spots
can be removed by using Woolite and warm water to remove the spot
then brush & blow dry. Thoroughly clean by using DRY oatmeal,
cornmeal or talcum powder. But never immerse your rug in water.
Occasionally you may want to "freshen" your rug, by laying it out
in the direct sunlight and it will automatically fluff out to it's
original luster.
For liquid spills: after blotting up as much of the spill as possible,
rub with cornmeal and brush.
Alpaca rugs cannot be used as bathmats. If they get too wet, they
can shrink, shed, and smell.
We do not recommend dry cleaning alpaca.
Your rug will last for many years with very little upkeep.
