Does wool breakdown?
If by that do you mean is it biodegradable than the answer is yes. But, not all wool is created equal. Some sheep breeds have very fine,soft weak wool. While others have rough, strong wool.

Heavy use will cause the wool product to break down over time as the fibers break apart.
What did medieval people use to make the wool so itcy out of?
Medieval people used a variety of animal fibers to make wool itchy, primarily from sheep. The itchiness often came from the natural properties of the wool fiber, particularly the coarse outer layer known as the cuticle.

To mitigate this, they sometimes blended wool with softer fibers or used different types of wool for specific garments.

In contrast, fiber from alpacas tends to be lighter, softer and does not have lanolin.
