Take care

Don't wash it to often, just air it, they like to be outside.No machine washing, it wouldn't do your cosy friend any good.  

Give your 'alpaca' a gentle massage, no rubbing, in cold water, add a drop of wool shampoo. Also rinse in cold water, and yes you may add some softener to encourage that silky touch. Squeeze gently, no wringing.  Let your friend enjoy a relaxing moment in a dry towel. Lay flat to dry , but no sunbathing. Reshape, so it keeps its original size. End the spa-treatment with a light touch of steam iron, if needed. 

Never hang your dear friend.They like to be folded and rest in a nice wardrobe.
