I've been under the impression that alpaca was the same as cashmere. I mean, I'm positive that cashmere comes from alpaca, but is "alpaca" referring to their hair that is, say, less treated?

I have never heard of merino, how does it feel?I must google this.

While I picked cashmere,simply for it's classic elegance and luxurious feel, my true love is alpaca seeing as my family raises them. Growing up with these beautiful creatures in your backyard would turn anyone into a fan.

I've been a Florida girl my whole life so I don't where much wool.

I relate to all of you in the 'wool makes me itch!" category. Having sensitive skin sucks. I do like cashmere though--bought 3 cashmere sweaters that were intensely discounted this winter and they're great! I can tolerate lambswool scarves and hats for a while, but they always make me itch eventually...sigh.

I'm another addition to the "Ohmigahd this has wool in it I can tell oh my sweet LORD the itch" group. It sucks, because I find something I love and to my hands, it's fine, but I put it on and immediately whip it off and check the tag...yep, wool. BUGGER. And Talldiva, you're not alone in the dislike of shops that go completely wooly come winter. Come on! Silk! Cotton! Poly! Why must you only go with that which makes me feel like I'm wearing Scotchbrite pads?!

If I could wear it it would be cashmere. Too hot for me.

i totally agree, cashmere is the best, and the only one that ensures no itching

Merino. I can't afford Cashmere right now.

I would love to have cashmere sweaters but they are to costly.

Wool makes me itch like crazy!!! I hate that some stores only carry wool sweaters for winter - not everyone chooses or can wear wool - they lost my business. Whatever happened to cotton?!

Cashmere is the only one I can wear with my sensitive skin. Plus it just makes me feel so comfortable no matter where I am.

I am a very lucky girl to have found a small pile of cashmere sweaters at the swap meet for $1 each... but now I am ruined for anything else. loves it!

Cashmere!

I can't wear any wool at all. Even cashmere makes me itch like crazy.

There's nothing like cashmere...love it. For a more affordable option, definitely merino wool. Pretty much every other type of wool irritates my skin and makes me itch. And mohair makes me sneeze!

Merino for day to day, as it wears well and I like the look, but cashmere for work, etc. though it's hard to take care of.

I love cashmere, doesn't everyone? But I am very loyal to alpaca. I love how soft it is and it dyes beautiful colors, plus it's more affordable than cashmere.

If i had millions in the bank I'd only wear cashmere! But I don't actually wear wool all too often. I mostly rock cardigans and they're usually blends. if I wear something that's truly knitted I always catch it on something and then it's ruined : (
