Q: Is the 12-inch llama good for sensory therapy? A: Yes! The 12-inch size provides enough surface area for a calming tactile experience. The therapeutic texture of the alpaca fur stuffed animal is often used to help reduce anxiety and provide a soothing "grounding" sensation for both kids and adults.
Q: Does the purple color transfer to clothes or bedding? A: No. We use professional-grade, eco-friendly dyes that are heat-set into the natural protein fibers. Once the Purple llama plush is finished, the color is locked in. However, we recommend keeping it away from moisture to maintain the fiber's integrity.
Q: How do I refresh the fluff if it gets flattened? A: Simply give your medium stuffed llama a vigorous shake! For a "spa treatment," use a soft-bristled brush to gently comb the fur. This restores the air pockets between the fibers, making it look brand new.

THE TECHNIQUE
On average, six to eight artisans collaborate on the production of these stuffed animals. It takes about five days to craft each of these adorable, hypoallergenic stuffed animals. The process begins with artisans shaping molds and carefully sewing the body. Each animal’s face is separately constructed, giving each piece a very realistic flair. After carefully shaving the alpaca, the hair is washed and sun-dried for one to two days. Depending on the item, the artisans may dye the alpaca hair using vibrant colors. Dying involves additional hand-wash cycles to reach the desired color. Molds are separately made using flexible cardboard. Artisans carefully hand-glue the washed alpaca hair to the mold. Once dried, the hair is thoroughly hand-combed to reach its staple softness. No animal cruelty is involved in the sourcing of the alpaca hair.
