It's very light with unique air pockets that 'store' body heat in cooler temperatures and release it in warm weather. While similar to sheep's wool, alpaca fiber is warmer, lighter and not itchy. It has no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic. Alpaca fiber is lighter, stronger and warmer than merino and mohair.
