Alpaca wool vs. Merino wool: The battle for tube scarf supremacy
When it comes to tube scarves, the material is everything. Alpaca wool and merino wool are both known for their warmth, but how do they really differ? And why is the 100% Alpaca Royal tube scarf the favorite of so many?
Softness and non-tickling
The first big difference comes out when talking about softness and non-itchiness. Alpaca Royal-level wool is silky and incredibly soft on the skin, while commonly used merino wool does not reach the same softness. Due to the fineness of the fiber, the 100% Alpaca Royal tube scarf does not itch, which makes it an ideal choice for sensitive skin. Alpaca wool is also hypoallergenic.
Breathability and Moisture Management
While both materials are breathable and good at moisture management, alpaca wool's ability to regulate temperature and stay comfortable in both warm and cold environments is unmatched. Alpaca does not feel damp on the skin even when sweating, which is an absolute advantage for active movement.
Durability and Quality
Alpaca wool is not only a more comfortable and higher quality option due to its softness and breathability, but it is also a very durable material and the alpaca tube scarf retains its shape and softness. Because our Alpaca Royal tube scarves are undyed, the naturally-toned alpaca fiber and thus our tube scarf keeps its color unchanged from year to year.
Environmental friendliness
Alpacas are a more environmentally sustainable option. When they graze, they support biodiversity and the production of alpaca wool is often smaller and less industrialized, which makes it a more ethical choice for conscious consumers. Merino wool products are mainly dyed and treated. It not only weakens the natural properties of the fiber, but also consumes water and chemicals.
