Alpaca or llama, which one's for you?
If you've ever grabbed a wool blanket and found it scratchy, heavy or just not quite right, there's a reason for that.
Most blankets are made from sheep's wool, which contains lanolin. It's what causes that familiar itch for many people, and it's also why wool can feel heavy and stiff after a wash.
Alpaca and llama are different. No lanolin, no itch. Both fibres are naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and surprisingly light for how warm they are. They also don't hold odour..which, if you've ever spent a week in a van or under canvas, you'll know matters more than people admit.
It's why we're a little obsessed with these fibres. They just make sense for the way Australians actually spend time outside.
