How does alpaca wool compare to merino wool or cashmere in terms of warmth, durability, and comfort?
Alpaca wool is well known for its exceptional warmth properties, which surpass normal wool and even cashmere.
Alpaca wool is actually warmer than sheep’s wool because its fibers have a hollow center, which helps them retain heat better while still being breathable. This is why it is often referred to as thermo-regulating.
The main difference between Alpaca wool and merino wool is that Alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic. So, it is perfect for allergic persons but also for everyone who is bothered by the itchy feel that some people still perceive in some merino wool.
Is alpaca wool itch-free?
Yes, alpaca wool is known for this incomparable softness. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, so the best choice for anyone wanting to benefit from the warmth of wool without any itch.
Are alpaca blankets hypoallergenic?
Yes, alpaca wool is known for this incomparable softness. It is also naturally hypoallergenic, so the best choice for anyone wanting to benefit from the warmth of wool without any itch.
Is there a possibility that I could get an allergic reaction or skin irritation?
At Art Andina, we use a blend of 70 % alpaca wool and 30 % acrylic for optimal softness and easy care. So, if someone is allergic to synthetic fibers, it may be best to search for a 100 % alpaca wool blanket (however, those have to be hand-washed).
Is it compact or easy to carry for trekking or does my alpaca blanket come with a carry bag or a storage pouch?
Our alpaca wool blankets are pretty lightweight and easy to carry on any outdoor outing! Because of their natural warmth, the blankets don’t have to be very thick, so they can easily be rolled up and carried everywhere. Because of our special blend, they are very resistant and don’t really have use for a carry bag.
Are each alpaca blanket unique or do you have an inventory of the patterns and colors available?
We create our blankets in small batches, so we do have a small inventory of each model available. Every blanket on our site is already woven and ready to be shipped. Our small batch models allow us to regularly change our collections.
