Alpaca Fibre
Listening to the radio this morning. They were talking about Alpaca fibre. (They don't call it 'wool' apparently.) The comment was that it will do everything that wool does, keeps warm in winter, cool in summer, retains warmth when wet, etc. and isn't itchy like wool can be.
So . . . has anyone ever heard of tartan being woven from Alpaca fibre? I wonder what it would be like as a kilt fabric.
I don't need another kilt, just wondering how it might work woven into a twill and whether anyone has experienced anything in this line.
