Alpaca vs. Polyester on thermal regulation

Alpaca vs. Polyester on thermal regulation

Here's we'll go over some of the differences with baby alpaca and polyester.

Alpaca vs Polyester on thermal regulation

  • Alpaca Wool's Superior Insulation – Alpaca fibers have a hollow core that traps air efficiently, providing warmth without bulk. This means you need less material to stay warm in cold weather.

  • Polyester's Solid Fiber Structure – Unlike alpaca, polyester fibers are solid, trapping less air and reducing insulation. As a result, you may need more layers to achieve the same level of warmth.

About Me
I started making my own clothes because what I found in department stores were not resonating with me — they lacked the quality and connection I wanted to feel when wearing them. I wanted pieces that felt unique, intentional, and worth investing in. Through this journey, I discovered a passion for crafting garments that not only reflect individuality but also prioritize quality, sustainability, and thoughtful design. This passion ultimately led to the creation of Rivelle Knits, where I strive to redefine what it means to buy and wear clothing with purpose.
