Alpaca is fuzzier, warmer and a bit heavier than the wool. The wool is coarser, and a more structural. Woollywhotknots has two thickness of the organic, merino wool that can be used. Sport weight and fingering weight. The sport is thicker and heavier, it is also a bit thicker than the alpaca. The fingering weight is lighter and thinner than both the alpaca and the sport weight wool. The color choices in the listings' photos only show the natural alpaca colors. The wool comes in unbleached ivory white. I usually have some dyed with black walnut husks (organically grown on our farm). Please ask to see the shades of brown that are available. The alpaca doesn’t not pill like wool does.

I will usually be able to make items in a few weeks. Smaller, and simpler items will take about 1-2 weeks and larger items will take 3-4. Complicated items will take even longer, up to 6 weeks. During the fall and early winter the turn around time can be longer.

All natural clothing is better for you and the world we live in. There are many health benefits to wearing wool clothes. Animal fiber helps to reduce stress, helps circulation among other benefits. Since there are no dyes used in these clothes, there are no added chemicals to put on your skin (the largest organ of our bodies) and none added to the environment. Be kind to yourself and the earth.... wear natural clothing.
