Alpaca vs merino wool
Alpaca: hypoallergenic, lanolin-free, warmer per weight, 22+ natural shades, premium executive tier. Merino: temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, slightly stretchier, scalable for activewear merch.
Alpaca — premium hypoallergenic
Alpaca fibre is naturally lanolin-free, hypoallergenic, and warmer per gram than merino — ideal for wool-sensitive recipients, heritage executive-tier scarves, throws, and winter-merch programmes. RWS-traceable from Peruvian co-ops, 22+ natural shades require no dyeing for ESG-aligned natural-tier programmes. MOQ 50, lead time 8-12 days.
Merino — versatile and scalable
Merino wool offers temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking performance ideal for activewear, base-layers, and conference-merch sweaters. Stretchier than alpaca, easier to machine-knit and dye, RWS-traceable from Australian/NZ farms. Suited to high-volume conference giveaways, employee-onboarding kits, and outdoor-brand collabs. MOQ 100, lead 6-10 days, lower price per kg than alpaca.
