Jan, alpaca do not have wool. Only sheep have wool. I can absolutely understand that you might find all animal fibers bothersome, and hey for all I know you have multiple fiber allergies -- but I am just commenting on your use of the term "wool" to describe alpaca fiber. it's not actually correct. Cashmere is also not a type of wool.

Now, if you are at all inclined to double check and see if you are truly wool-intolerant vs "just" scratchy-wool intolerant, you might consider snuggling some Malabrigo wool just to see. If not, don't bother :)

All of that said...my husband hates wool, but LOVES the llama-silk blend I just made him a hat from. And that said, that stuff was mucho dinero, so it won't help you.

Hmmm. how about a nice cotton??
