Alpaca Fabric

Alpaca fabric is valued for its warmth, softness and natural insulation, making it an excellent choice for coats, jackets and winter tailoring. The fibre is lightweight yet thermally efficient, with a subtle lustre and smooth handle that gives garments a refined finish.

Often blended with wool for added structure and durability, alpaca cloth works particularly well for outerwear and heavier weight dressmaking projects. If you are comparing fibre types or exploring alternative woollen options, you can view our full Wool Fabrics collection to see suiting, coating and traditional woven cloths alongside alpaca blends.

To see fabrics made from 100% wool, or cashmere/alpaca etc. only, select Yes under the 100% Yarn Content filter.

What Is Alpaca Fabric?

Alpaca fibre comes from alpacas and is known for being warm, breathable and naturally water resistant. It contains fewer scales than sheep’s wool, which contributes to its smooth handle and reduced itch factor.

What Can You Make With Alpaca Fabric?

Alpaca is particularly suited to coats, tailored jackets and structured outerwear. Heavier blends provide warmth without excessive bulk, making them practical for winter garments.
