Alpaca fibre is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. Alpaca fleece has a smoother shaft than goat fibres such as cashmere and mohair, or sheep wool that can be prickly against the skin. Unlike other fibres, Alpaca lacks lanolin, a common irritant found in sheep's wool. This absence reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritations. Its breathability allows for better moisture-wicking, keeping the skin dry and comfortable. For individuals with sensitivities, Alpaca offers a cozy, itch-free alternative that provides both warmth and comfort in all seasons.
