Alpaca vs. sheep's wool
Alpaca wool is finer and softer than conventional sheep's wool, often even softer than merino. It hardly scratches, keeps you up to 30% warmer and is as light as a feather. As it does not contain lanolin, it is hypoallergenic and also ideal for sensitive skin.

Alpaca vs. cashmere
Alpaca wool offers the same luxurious comfort as cashmere, but is more robust and significantly less prone to pilling. It is easier to care for, more durable, and more attractively priced, while the animals can be kept in a more environmentally friendly manner.
