Why alpaca wool?

Soft, light and lanolin-free

The wool of our alpacas is first-class quality. Every year many walkers complete the Nijmegen Four Days Marches thanks in part to alpaca wool against blisters and pressure sores.

Lanolin-free

Alpaca wool is free of lanolin (wool grease), which makes it suitable for people with a wool-grease allergy.

100% natural product

Pure, unwashed wool from our own herd. Can be used dry and may contain traces of sand or straw.

Lightweight & thermoregulating

Naturally light, water-repellent and thermoregulating. Many times finer and softer than sheep’s wool.

Known as Four Days Marches wool

Against (developing) blisters, sore heels and chafing. Tuft of wool on the sore spot, sock over it and off you go.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about ordering alpaca wool

How much alpaca wool do I need?

A 10-gram bag is enough for a few spots between the toes. Choose 20 grams for heels and big toes, and the 40-gram supply bag for several days of walking, such as the Four Days Marches.

What makes your alpaca wool different from anti-pressure wool at the chemist?

Our wool comes entirely from our own alpacas in Malden and is pure and lanolin-free, with no middlemen. You know exactly where it comes from, rather than an anonymous pack from a webshop or chemist.

How quickly will my order arrive?

We ship with PostNL as a letterbox parcel, usually within 1 to 3 working days inside the Netherlands. You can also collect the wool in Malden by appointment, with no shipping costs.

How can I pay?

You pay online straight away with iDEAL, Wero, Google Pay or Apple Pay. We ship your order once your payment comes through.

Can I return the wool?

You have a 14-day cooling-off period under the statutory right of withdrawal. As alpaca wool is a natural product, we ask that unused bags are returned unopened. You will find the full terms on our web shop terms page.
