Traditional sweater or Alpaca wool sweater?
Everyone knows what a traditional old-fashioned Finnish sweater is like. Or someone may even have a similar Norwegian sweater in mind.
However, few of us have used an Alpaca sweater. Alpaca wool is significantly softer and even a thin sweater is remarkably warm. An alpaca sweater exudes warmth and luxury.
For a Finn, a sweater is a traditional and necessary piece of clothing that protects against cold and wind. However, not all sweaters are nearly the same in terms of features.
We made a comparison between a traditional sweater and an Alpaca Royal sweater. We wanted to bring out the features of alpaca wool unknown to many, both in terms of comfort and quality.
Before the actual comparison, here is our customer Mat's opinion about our alpaca knitted jacket:
Background information:
The warmth, breathability and natural water repellency of sheep's wool have been valued in Finland for centuries. As a sweater material, it is durable and versatile, thanks to which it has maintained its popularity year after year.
Alpaca wool, originating from South America, has been a valued natural fiber for thousands of years. The Alpaca Royal-level Alpaca wool we use is significantly softer, lighter and warmer than sheep's wool. It is also hypoallergenic, making it an ideal sweater for people with sensitive skin.
Traditional sweater vs. Alpaca wool sweater
When it comes to sweaters and sweaters, the choice of material is key. In this comparison, we focus on two key factors: quality and comfort.
Quality
- Durability : Sheep wool is known to be durable, but Alpaca wool takes durability to a new level. A sweater and sweater made of high-quality Alpaca Royal fiber will keep its shape and appearance for years.
- Cleaning and care : Although both materials require careful care, Alpaca wool is surprisingly easy to care for. It repels dirt and odors naturally, which means fewer washes and a longer lifespan.
Comfort
- Skin feel : The fine-fibered Royal Alpaca wool clearly beats sheep's wool in this category. Alpaca Royal is very soft and smooth, making it an ideal choice for a sweater to wear against the skin.
- Temperature regulation : Alpaca wool is an excellent thermal insulator, keeping you warm in cold weather and feeling cool in warm weather. This phenomenon is called thermoregulatory property. Alpaca breathes better than any other natural or modern technical fiber. This is a real luxury sweater.
Environmental impact
Although this is not a direct comfort or quality factor, it is important to note that the production of alpaca wool is generally environmentally friendly compared to other wool producers. Alpacas, which produce top-quality fiber, invariably graze in a species-typical way, they use little water, and their foot pads do not break the soil like hooves.
Also, very little water is used in further processing. Our Alpaca Royal sweaters are undyed and are not treated with other chemicals. From the official alpacas color chart below, you can see that there are dozens of natural alpaca shades.
