Esmod students create projects with Alpaca fiber

Lighter, warmer, stronger, and more comfortable than sheep's wool, alpaca fiber comes from a very soft animal, in every sense of the word, native to the Andes Mountains: a cousin of the llama. It is a herd animal, a grazer (ideally between 8 and 10 animals on a surface of one hectare), which produces a fiber that is both very fine and hollow, which gives it an immense insulating power that allows it to adapt to changes in extreme temperatures: it is not without reason that NASA chose this miraculous fiber to dress its astronauts at the beginning of the space conquest. In short, exceptional wool, one of the most beautiful in the world.
