“Baby” alpaca is not a young alpaca; it’s a grade of fine wool.
At Quri, we understand that the finer the fiber, the higher the quality of wool. Without harming the animal, the very fine so-called “baby” alpaca fibers can be obtained from the coat of young or adult alpacas.
Quri, the Gold from The Andes
Since pre-Inca times, the incomparable tradition of versatile Peruvian masters has prevailed. Their excellence in weaving fibers from Andean animals or locally-grown cotton continues to deliver a superior, natural product that’s unsurpassed in durability and beauty.
The happier the alpaca, the better the wool.
Quri sources our fibers from alpacas that have large spaces for grazing, where they can move and run freely.
An alpaca can naturally withstand harsh environments with temperatures as low as 15º F. To adapt to these extreme conditions, the animal has developed a thick coat that produces a fiber that’s among the rarest and most valuable in the world.
Our Peruvian knitters, applying ancient traditions, know exactly how to process the precious quality of these natural fibers from contented, thriving animals.
