Alpaca Scarf Questions
Will an alpaca scarf itch?
No, for most people. Prickle comes from coarse fibers, roughly 30 microns and up; baby alpaca averages about 21.5 microns, and alpaca carries no lanolin. Brushed styles can tickle for the first few wears, then settle.
Alpaca or cashmere scarf?
Cashmere feels a touch softer new. Alpaca is warmer for its weight, pills less and lasts longer. Full comparison: Alpaca vs. Cashmere.
