Hawthorn, Australia (
prHWY.com) October 26, 2012 - Wool from the alpaca is reputed to be one of the world's finest fibres. Alpaca wool is as soft as cashmere; it doesn't have that itchy feel that wool made from sheep has, which makes you scratch and squirm unless you're accustomed to it. Additionally, alpaca wool is less dense than sheep wool, which makes it lighter and more breathable, and yet this Andean wool actually insulates better than the traditional sheep wool with which most people are familiar. Alpaca wool does not contain lanolin, which results in it being hypoallergenic, but it also means that alpaca wool absorbs water, unlike sheep wool which is somewhat water repellent. You can find all kinds of products made from alpaca wool: hats, scarves, sweaters, gloves, socks and blankets. If you plan to purchase alpaca wool, be careful as there are many products referred to as alpaca, but are actually made from other fibres. But if you're really concerned about getting a top quality, authentic product, you should visit
