Alpaca vs. Cashmere
| Alpaca | Cashmere | Why? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Insulation | Excellent | Moderate | Alpaca fiber is
very fine... between 16 and 30 microns, and has a unique hollow insulating core. |
| Fiber Strength | Excellent | Moderate | Alpaca fiber is
very strong resulting in more durable apparel. |
| Comfort | Excellent | Excellent | Both fibers are
very comfortable due to the low micron count. |
| Water Absorption | Excellent | Excellent | Both fibers are
water resistant as compared with other natural fibers. |
| Wear Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | Cashmere is much
more prone to 'pilling' due to its short length and delicate structure. |
| Wrinkle Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | Alpaca is much
more resistant making this material excellent for travel wear. |
| Stretch Resistance | Excellent | Poor | Cashmere easily
stretches and often 'clings' to you. |
| Source - Exclusivity | Alpaca - Rare | Goat - Common | China mass
produces over 67% of all cashmere products. |
