Paka’s lightweight-yet-warm sweaters and hoodies are beneficial in dynamic climates: the Andes Mountains. With natural thermoregulating properties, our alpaca sweaters keep you warm when it’s cold and cool when you’re hiking or active. Each PAKA sweater offers lasting freshness and durability, thanks to alpaca fiber’s natural odor resistance and high-tensile strength.

The alpaca fiber in Paka’s sustainable sweaters and hoodies is sheared and
separated by hand, colored with environmentally friendly dyes, and knit
by our team of Peruvian women weavers with a unique, hand-woven Inca ID.
Unlike sheep’s wool or cashmere, alpaca doesn't contain or require the
removal of a waxy substance called lanolin, so this process avoids harsh
chemical treatments. Plus, its antimicrobial and moisture-wicking
properties mean less need for constant washing.

The Paloma sweater comes in grey or black and it's made with 50% alpaca 45% acrylic and 5% wool. This sweater is sold elsewhere and marketed as 100% alpaca but the manufacturer assures me that with truth in labeling, it is an actual blend of fibers which makes it light weight and extremely cozy.
