What makes alpaca wool so special? As Strategist contributor Chantel Tattoli explains, "Wool in general wicks away moisture, but whereas sheep wool can absorb up to 30 percent of its weight (cue that wet-dog smell), alpaca wool absorbs up to only 13 percent. Alpaca is also silkier than sheep wool. It’s not scratchy, and it is extra breathable." This particular pair, from a brand called Warrior Alpaca, is light enough for spring and fall, sometimes heavy enough for winter, excelling at seasonal limbos. Tattoli wears them with everything, from Chelsea boots and Chuck Taylors (the lace frills at the ankle, like beer foam) to slides and sandals to those rain boots that hit at the calf.
