We have an Alpaca outlet near us - sweaters, socks, jackets, etc. not
batting - and the owner always stresses that Alpaca is not wool and that
people allergic to wool will be ok with alpaca. Can't vouch for it as
I'm not allergic to wool although I do find some a bit scratchy. I have
an alpaca jacket and its sooo soft. When I bought it it was going to be
for 'best' but I like it so much that 'best' = often!
