alpaca wool does not stink when wet,in fact it absorbs moisture from skin and air and stays warm even when wet
There are two disadvantages to using wool. The first disadvantage is the material is itchy. The second is, it is a heavier material.
Wool can absolutely get wet. Of course, once it does it will be ruined but that wasn't your question.
Wool is particularly stretchy when wet or damp. It can also be stretched slightly under its own weight by hanging it. Wool garments that have been stretched are often misshapen and sit wrongly.
Woolen garments keep us warm primarily due to the insulating properties of wool fibers, which trap air and create a barrier against cold temperatures. The natural crimp in wool fibers helps to retain heat while also allowing moisture to escape, keeping the body dry. Additionally, wool has hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture without feeling wet, further enhancing comfort and warmth. These combined features make wool an effective material for insulation in cold weather.
