Alpaca

The alpaca is a camelid native to the Andes. The wool fibre is incredibly soft and warm, with silky fibres that can grow up to twenty centimetres long. The wool is durable and non-itching, but less elastic than sheep's wool. Alpaca comes in 22 natural colours, but the lighter shades are often dyed to the desired colour. In our collections we use alpaca wool blended with extra fine merino wool and polyamide.


The yarn is RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified. The RWS is a certification that guarantees the welfare of the animals, that the wool is handled correctly throughout the production process and that the pastures are used in a sustainable way.

About Holebrook Sweden


Holebrook is a Swedish brand with a focus on knitted clothing. We were born on the Swedish west coast and our first collection was knitted sweaters with a windproof elastic lining. Today, more than twenty years later, they are still part of our collection. Sustainability is part of our DNA, it’s reflected in our business model and in our brand strategy. Our down-to-earth approach to sustainability is based on wool, cotton, mohair and alpaca. Natural materials that do not need to be washed as often, which prolongs the life of the garments and reduces their impact on the environment. Our clothes are timeless and made for the seasons, not the trends. All our clothes are made in Europe by suppliers who share our strive and commitment to quality and sustainability.
