Can you put Alpaca Wool in the Washing Machine? 

It is not possible to wash 100% alpaca wool in the washing machine, including the “hand wash” setting. The friction of the process causes the fibers to break, making them interlock, which results in a felted garment. And when that happens, your garment will be smaller, less soft, and tougher.
