A dollar over the same size
A 23 cm Baby Alpaca is $16.90 where a 23 cm Naturals is $15.90, at the entry tier. The difference is the grade, and it holds at every size and every tier.

Baby Alpaca: stuffed animals in the finest grade of alpaca fur
Baby Alpaca is a grade of fibre, whatever the colour or the age of the animal. It is the finest alpaca we work with, around 22 microns measured across the fibre, and only a small part of any clip grades this fine. Three shades, in four sizes from 15 to 48 cm, priced above the rest of the catalogue for that reason.

### The grade ###
What Baby Alpaca actually means
Fur is graded by how fine the fibre is, measured across it in microns. The finer it is the softer it feels, the more evenly it sits, and the more it is worth. Baby Alpaca is the trade name for the band around 22 microns, one step finer than the alpaca in the rest of the catalogue. It is a measurement and not an age: the finest fibre from a grown animal grades as Baby Alpaca and a great deal of fibre never does.
Only a part of any clip grades this fine, which makes it the rarest fur we work with, so the collection has three shades instead of ten. Where it comes from is the same answer as the rest of the catalogue, set out in full on its own page.
A Baby Alpaca is softer in the hand than a Naturals of the same size, and $1.00 more a piece at every tier.

Questions about Baby Alpaca stuffed animals
A grade of fur, not a colour. Fur is graded by how fine the fibre is, and Baby Alpaca is the finest band we work with, around 22 microns, softer to the hand than the rest. It is also the rarest, which is why the collection stays small and is priced above the rest.
