What is the hype behind wool? Alpaca fiber is where it’s at!!! I’ve never been a big fan of wool because of how uncomfortably itchy it is on skin contact. Alpaca fiber doesn’t make you itchy, it’s a lot warmer, softer, and arguably the greenest (and cutest) animal on the planet!! I’m not here to convince you to drop your wool garments, but give alpaca fiber a shot, starting with a pair of socks 😊
