When made into batting alpaca wool has many advantages for the quilter:

* Very light and soft

* Fibers are smooth

* Warm

* Contains no lanolin

* Is hypoallergenic

* No 'wet wool smell' when wet

* Tends to be lofty

* Very durable fiber

* About 2% shrinkage after first washing

* Fibers are needle-punched and contain no binders or resins

* Very easy to work with on longarm machines
