Yes, it is. The most expensive fabric in the world is wool, which comes from the vicuña and can only be shorn from the animal once every two to three years. The vicuña is part of the camelid family, of which the alpaca and llama are two others whose wool is also sought after and valued. However, they are nowhere in the league of the vicuña fleece. The vicuña animal is said to be the most graceful of the camelid family, and its wool is the very best.
Expensive is a relative term, so what may be expensive for someone else may not be expensive for you. There are too many types of wool, many stages of wool and many objects made from wool to be inclusive or even guess at the answer that you want.
Merino wool is expensive because of the wool's grade system, production costs, and the exclusivity of the sheep. This wool is finer, has different grades and dye processes, and the sheep are only used in New Zealand and Australia.
As far as I know cashmere is most popular and most expensive wool in market I believe the world's most expensive wool is Vicuña, a South American relative of the llama and the alpaca. A yard of this high-priced wool ranges from $1,800-3,000. And if we have to compare it with what we consider pricey, then a yard of merino wool is tagged at $50 and cashmere for $100.

Some cheap coats are filled with a slightly less expensive wool. The wool is less expensive due to the animal it came from. Other types of wool maybe higher in quality which is another price difference.

Alpaca wool is fine, soft, and generally comes in 8-12 inch long fibers. It has a good luster and is an extremely good insulative wool.

Expensive is relative. Some animal fleece -- baby yak, is more rare than other animal fleece -- lamb. Relatively, you'd pay more for yarn spun from baby yak fleece than you would pay for lamb wool.
