Is alpaca fleece warmer than sheep's wool?
Yes, alpaca fleece is warmer than sheep's wool per gram of fiber. Alpaca fibers are completely hollow, whereas sheep's wool only contains pockets of air. Much like polar bear fur, both fibers allow air to permeate the surface and become trapped inside for a warm wearing experience. Alpacas have an advantage over sheep wool because of the extra hollow space in the fiber. This additional space creates a greater thermal capacity and allows for more warm air to fill the textile and provide extra warmth over its sheep's wool counterpart.Is alpaca hypoallergenic?
Because alpaca is made of hollow fibers without sharp fish hooks, alpaca wool is hypoallergenic. Also, because it doesn't have any lanolin (unlike sheep's wool), environmental allergens don't stick to it or get processed into any of the products, ensuring that it will always be hypoallergenic, unlike Merino Wool which even after superwashing maintains some lanolin, allowing it to pick up environmental allergens that rub against your skin all day and make you itchy. Is alpaca 100% waterproof?
No. Though alpaca does offer fantastic wicking properties, it is not 100% waterproof.Alpaca fibers are hollow so it traps more heat and naturally pushes the water away, never allowing wet fabric to sit on the skin. The water essentially evaporates as a result of the structure and warmth of the alpaca fiber. So, while alpaca is not waterproof, it is considered water-repellent.In comparison, wool will absorb up to 50% of its body weight in moisture, but there is a saturation point for this textile. Unfortunately, saturated wool can cause sweat to sit next to the skin, which causes discomfort, odor and an increased likelihood of blisters. Ouch!How does alpaca fleece keep me cool in the summer and warm in the winter?
Well, Merino wool has air pockets in the fiber, which gives it thermal capacity and the ability to absorb up to 50% of its weight in moisture (usually sweat). Alpaca fiber on the other hand has hollow tubes for fiber, which means that it doesn't absorb the moisture, but instead sheds it and pushes it away. When heat comes off of your body, it works as an engine to push the moisture molecules to the exterior of the garment, through the hollow fibers meaning that it won't become saturated, heavy or stay wet. This grants it the ability to wick moisture off of your body at an 85% greater rate than any wool product ever could. Because alpaca fleece wicks moisture away so well it is the most breathable natural fiber and therefore keeps you cool in the summer!Is there really a difference between alpaca fleece and merino wool?
Definitely. As you can see, alpaca fleece offers equivalent softness to superwashed wool and more softness than untreated wool, more warmth and higher wicking properties than merino wool, and is also hypoallergenic and eco-friendly.What's a micron?
A micron is a measurement of length equivalent to one millionth of a meter. This unit of measurement is used to measure the width of a single alpaca fiber to determine its softness and fineness. | Alpaca Fiber Classification |
| Royal Alpaca | < 18 microns |
| Super Fine / Baby Alpaca (not actually from a baby alpaca -- just a classification) | < 20 microns |
| Fine | < 25 microns |
| Medium | < 30 microns |
| Strong | 30 microns + |
| Mixed Pieces | Short fibers, 32 microns + (used for felting) |
