The Loro rug is handknotted from finest Alpaca Wool, mixed with a little touch of bamboo fibres, which together give a durable rug with a light shine. Alpaca wool is a natural animal fibre that is fully biodegradablesoft, strong and warm. Alpaca fibres are considered extremely water resistant, while staying highly breathable. They have a higher tensile strength, meaning they can stand up to more pressure or tension before breaking. Bamboo fibres are made of bamboo pulp and have strong durability, stability and tenacity. The production of Bamboo is sustainable as it thrives without any pesticides and also it is biodegradable and thus a very eco-friendly material.
