Alpaca Wool Duvet - Regular Weight, Double

This luxurious duvet features a custom blend of 50% Alpaca and 50% Wool Fibres in an organic cotton sateen cover.  One of the complaints about wool is that is can be heavy for some people.  The solution is Alpaca. 

Alpaca duvets add warmth without weight.  Alpaca wool is warmer than  sheep's wool as its fibres are hollow and trap heat.  Sheep's wool  fibres have pockets to trap the heat.  Therefore you can have an Alpaca  wool duvet with less fill than a Classic Wool Duvet for the same  warmth.  Alpaca has far greater drapability than wool fibres, which  allows the duvet to lie closer to the sleeper's body and be more  insular. 

Wool will absorb up to 50% of its body weight in moisture, but after  that there is a saturation point and the sweat can sit next to the skin  causing discomfort.  Alpaca wool is almost waterproof.  As it traps more  heat, it mechanically pushes the water away, never leaving moisture on  the skin.  Basically, becasue the Alpaca duvet is warmer it evaporates  faster. 

Some people are more susceptible to the smell of lanolin that is  found in sheep's wool.  This odour usually dissipates within a couple of  hours of opening it up out of the package.  Very few people will still  notice an odour.  The solution to this as well is Alpaca.  Alpaca wool  is considered a dry fibre, without the lanolin that is found in sheep's  wool. Not only is this duvet made in Canada, but it also features a  beautiful organic cotton shell.  It is so soft to touch and a dream to  sleep under.  The threads of the shell are thinner to allow better  breathability and maximize drapability.
