alpaca sweater

Soft camelid garment

An alpaca sweater is a knitted garment made from the fleece of alpacas, prized for its softness, warmth, and lightweight feel.

Alpaca fiber is warmer than sheep's wool and less prone to pilling: She bought an alpaca sweater at the market in Peru.

The term sometimes applies to blends containing alpaca.
