How should I care for my Fort Belvedere Royal Baby Alpaca fleece scarf?
To preserve the luxurious softness and durability of your Royal Baby Alpaca fleece, it’s best to hand wash the garment in cold or lukewarm water using a mild wool detergent. Avoid wringing or rubbing the fabric; instead, press the water out gently, dry the item flat on a clean towel, and always keep it away from direct sunlight or heat. Thanks to its natural properties, frequent washing isn’t necessary: airing it out and occasional spot-cleaning usually suffice.

How does Royal Baby Alpaca fleece compare to cashmere?
Royal Baby Alpaca fleece is comparable to cashmere in terms of softness and luxury, especially in its finest grades. However, it stands out for being more lightweight, warmer, and more durable, with better resistance to pilling and stretching. Unlike cashmere, alpaca fibers are less prone to retaining odors, easier to care for, and more eco-friendly in terms of both sourcing and longevity. This makes Royal Baby Alpaca fleece a superb alternative for those seeking both comfort and practicality.
