Ikigai Fiber employs an innovative process known as "Easy Wash." The Alpaca/Wool Easy Wash treatment incorporates enzymatic and oxidants processes to eliminate shrinkage, making Alpaca yarns suitable for machine-washable products. Importantly, this treatment is implemented with sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

  • Preservation of the natural characteristics of the fiber,
    unlike other treatments that may diminish its natural
    properties by covering it with synthetic materials.
  • The treatment is entirely chlorine, resin, and sulfuric
    acid-free, ensuring no contamination to waterways.
  • Free from harmful chemicals.
  • Approved by Oekotex, Blue Sign, and Reach standards for
    environmental and social responsibility.
  • Maximum shrinkage is approximately 8%, equivalent to
    Superwash Wool.
