Sustainability Natural Textile Fibers and Magick- Alpaca Wool- Nisha Designs

Alpaca fiber is classified as a luxury fiber. It is much more resistant, warmer and softer than sheep’s wool, does not contain lanolin and is available in over 20 natural colors. It is comparable to a high-end cashmere to the touch and is appreciated for its thermal properties, its lightness and its silky touch. It is no coincidence that the fabrics made with this precious natural fiber were once reserved for dressing the Inca emperors.

Alpaca wool is obtained from the hair of the alpaca, a mammal related to camels and native to the Andes in South America. The fleece of alpacas has a wavy and frizzy appearance which favors its use in spinning and weaving. Alpaca fiber is used to create some of the finest fabrics in the world and is highly sought after by fashion houses as well as by artisan spinners and weavers.

Fineness is a very important characteristic of a good quality fleece: the finer the fleece, the softer the feel. Another important characteristic of alpaca wool is the sheen, i.e. the luminosity of the fibre, which can be determined visually. Crimp is also an important variable that relates to the waves or ripples that can be seen in a group of fibers: fibers with little crimp offer no stretch, while fibers with noticeable crimp have good stretch. Stretch is important in the final product, because products with good stretch will hold their shape better.

DESCRIPTION

The Verdi Canvas is a woven fabric in 100% Hemp with a 130gr/m2 weight.2

It’s a historic fabric and it’s perfect to realize shirts that thanks to their look and softness are appreciated from the whole family.

It’s one of a kind, the Verdi Canvas is perfect to create items during all the year, from the underwear and pajamas to unisex shirts. During the summer it is not only perfect for shirts, but also for foulards, sarongs, and fresh accessories in general for both day and night.

Thanks to his weight and his hand, which is really soft and wrapping, the Canvas is perfect in a 155 cm height to create baby cot’s and small beds linens.

We highly recommend the use of the Hemp since the first days of our children. This is because of the antibacterial feature from the Hemp fiber, which is also perfect on newborn skins, and gives a micro massage on their skin. These features will guarantee each baby a great comfort during their sleep, a sensation that cotton cannot reach.

Thanks to his transparency and lightness, the Verdi can also be used for nice home decors.
