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. The stronger the wool the longer the product made with it will last. As a result sweaters are commonly made with soft weak fibers while rugs are made with the itchy more durable fibers. 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. Additionally, the processing methods, such as carding and spinning, sometimes left the wool with rough edges, contributing to its prickly texture against the skin. To mitigate this, they sometimes blended wool with softer fibers or used different types of wool for specific garments.


What is the difference between alpaca and sheeps wool?

There are significant differences between alpaca fiber and sheep wool, enough so that the two products are called different names. Wool from sheep tends to be dense, somewhat rough (although this depends on the breed) and has a protein called lanolin that both confers fire retardant properties and is the cause of allergic reactions to wool. In contrast, fiber from alpacas tends to be lighter, softer and does not have lanolin.
