FAQ

What is baby alpaca?
“Baby alpaca” refers to a finer, softer fiber (not the age of the animal). All Unku pieces are 100% baby alpaca.

Is baby alpaca itchy?
Most people find baby alpaca very soft and comfortable. Sensitivity varies, so check product details if you’re unsure.

Is baby alpaca warm?
Yes—it's warm, lightweight, and breathable, so it’s great for layering.

How do I care for my baby alpaca knitwear?
Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent, don’t wring, and dry flat. Avoid hot water and tumble drying.

How do I choose my size?
Use the size guide on each product page. Between sizes? Size down for a closer fit, size up for a relaxed fit.
