The Huacaya Heritage: Dense & Resilient

Signature "Puffy" Crimp: Huacaya alpaca fur is known for its natural volume and density. Unlike other fibers, it maintains its iconic round silhouette and plush loft even after years of display and love.
-
100% Hypoallergenic & Eco-Friendly: Naturally lanolin-free and resistant to dust mites, our llamas are safe for sensitive skin and nurseries.
-
Artisan Heart: Each llama is individually hand-stitched by our cooperative of 35 indigenous artisans in Peru, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.
- Crafted from Baby Alpaca-grade fiber (under 22.5 microns) for an ultra-soft, refined finish that surpasses standard plush.

THE TECHNIQUE
On average, six to eight artisans collaborate on the production of these stuffed animals. It takes about five days to craft each of these adorable, hypoallergenic stuffed animals. The process begins with artisans shaping molds and carefully sewing the body. Each animal’s face is separately constructed, giving each piece a very realistic flair. After carefully shaving the alpaca, the hair is washed and sun-dried for one to two days. Depending on the item, the artisans may dye the alpaca hair using vibrant colors. Dying involves additional hand-wash cycles to reach the desired color. Molds are separately made using flexible cardboard. Artisans carefully hand-glue the washed alpaca hair to the mold. Once dried, the hair is thoroughly hand-combed to reach its staple softness. No animal cruelty is involved in the sourcing of the alpaca hair.
