FAQs
Why are alpaca blankets warmer but lighter than wool?
Alpaca fibre has a semi-hollow core that traps warm air efficiently. This means alpaca blankets can feel lighter on the body while still being around 20% warmer than traditional wool.
My partner sleeps hot and I feel cold - is alpaca better than Merino?
Alpaca is often the best choice for couples with different sleep temperatures.
It regulates heat exceptionally well - keeping hot sleepers cooler while still providing warmth for those who feel the cold.
What does “Alpaca Combo” mean — and why is it priced differently?
“Combo” refers to the woven design detail - combining textured and solid weave sections (such as waffle, cobblestone or herringbone).
Pricing reflects:
- The intricacy of the weave
- Alpaca-to-wool blend ratio
- Australian fibres and craftsmanship
The higher the alpaca content, the warmer and more premium the blanket.
Can an alpaca blanket replace a doona?
In milder climates, yes.
Because alpaca is warm yet lightweight, many customers use it as a breathable alternative to a doona - especially if they dislike heavy bedding.
Why are alpaca blankets more expensive?
Alpaca is a premium natural fibre. It is:
- Warmer for its weight
- Softer than traditional wool
- Hypoallergenic
- Durable and long-lasting
Its warmth-to-weight ratio and fibre rarity contribute to the price.
Do I need to dry clean my alpaca blanket before using it?
No - your blanket is ready to use straight away. There’s no need to clean it before first use.
Can alpaca blankets ever be washed?
For best longevity, we recommend gentle dry cleaning when necessary.
For regular care, simply air your blanket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Do alpaca blankets shed or pill?
Light shedding can occur when new - this is normal for natural fibres.
Minimal pilling may occur with friction, but alpaca fibres are naturally resilient and less prone to wear over time.
Are alpaca blankets scratchy?
Alpacafibreis smoother than traditional sheep’s wool andcontainsno lanolin, which can cause irritation for some people. Most customers find alpaca exceptionally soft and gentle on the skin.
Are alpaca blankets hypoallergenic?
Yes. Alpaca contains little to no lanolin and is naturally resistant to dust mites, making it a popular option for people with sensitivities.
Is alpaca as lightweight as mohair?
Alpaca is naturally lightweight due to its semi-hollow fibre structure. It provides similar warmth-to-weight benefits while being softer and less prone to shedding than mohair.
What does GSM mean in alpaca blankets?
GSM stands for grams per square metre and refers to fabric weight.
However, warmth is determined more by fibre structure than weight - which is why a 320 GSM alpaca blanket can feel warmer than a heavier wool blanket.
Does higher alpaca content make the blanket warmer?
Yes. The higher the percentage of alpacafibre(and the lower the synthetic content), the greater the warmth and premium feel.
