Thin or Thick Wool? Choosing the Perfect Blanket or Scarf

Ecru alpaca wool scarf, white alpaca wool scarfThose with discerning taste, drawn to the world of fashion and quality, pay special attention to the lightweight products crafted from exquisite baby alpaca wool. This subtle and delicate fabric allows for the creation of the most elegant and sophisticated ensembles, setting them apart from less formal and bulkier materials like regular sheep’s wool. Consequently, thin baby alpaca wool products have become synonymous with exceptional and exclusive style.

Here are some reasons why fine products made of fine wool like 100% baby alpaca or 100% cashmere are better than thick products made of ordinary sheep’s wool:

  • They look more elegant and stylish, are more exclusive and stand out from other products such as sheep’s wool.
  • Better material quality, comfort and wearability. Baby alpaca wool is finer and softer to the touch than ordinary sheep’s wool. In terms of quality, this wool is matched only by cashmere.
  • One of the main disadvantages of, for example, scarves made of sheep’s wool is the scratchy feeling that many people feel on their skin when wearing them. People with sensitive skin prefer to choose softer materials, such as baby alpaca wool. This is because products made of this unique luxury wool are extremely soft and pleasant to the touch, which translates into even greater wearing comfort.
  • Baby alpaca wool is several times warmer than sheep’s wool, so a thinner alpaca fabric can provide the same or better insulating properties than an ordinary thick wool scarf.
  • They perfectly regulate body temperature, and unlike synthetic products, they breathe, which prevents overheating and sweating. As a result, they are more versatile and can be worn all year round – not just in winter. Alpaca scarves and large scarves will work well even in summer in air-conditioned rooms. They are thin and lightweight so they take up little space. They will fit in a shopper bag or our cotton bags, which we add to each order.
  • Products made of luxury wools are more durable and resistant to damage, and with proper care will last for many years. Baby alpaca wool, despite its softness to the touch, is very resistant to stretching, does not mold or distort.

These factors make fine wool products a better choice for those who value quality, style and comfort than thick products made of ordinary sheep’s wool.
