{{Info|'''Alpaca wool''' is a type of [[fabric]] gathered by [[Skills#Animals|animal handlers]] by shearing tamed [[alpaca]]s. Alpaca wool is a very good insulator, and is therefore recommended in clothing like [[parka]]s and [[tuque]]s.}}

== Acquisition ==
Alpaca wool is acquired by shearing tamed [[alpaca]]s - each alpaca can be sheared every {{Q|Alpaca|Shearing Interval Days}} days for {{Q|Alpaca|Wool Amount}} wool, for an average of {{Q|Alpaca|Daily Wool Average}} per day.

It can also be purchased from [[trade]]rs.

== Analysis ==
Alpaca wool has the second worst protective stats of any [[textile]] in the game, tied only with other [[wools]], and besting [[cloth]] only by virtue of providing  significantly more heat armor (though still little relative to textiles like [[devilstrand]]). Like other wools, however, where alpaca wool excels is in cold insulation. It offers the 4th best cold insulation of any textile in the game. For comparison, its heat insulation is lacking, tied for 10th of all textiles, comparable to many [[leather]]s.

Thus, it is almost entirely irrelevant as protective clothing. Additionally, its mediocre heat insulation make it unattractive in hot [[biomes]], as many leathers are available with equivalent insulation but significantly better protection. While its cold insulation may prove useful in colder biomes, many less insulative materials may be utilized instead for their higher protective values. Where alpaca wool clothing shines is its ease of acquisition; the alpaca has the second fastest Per Day production rate for wool while only eating as much as a [[sheep]]. This means it can be useful for [[parka]]s or other pieces of clothing which are situational.

For use in [[furniture]], it only has a somewhat improved [[Property:Beauty Factor|beauty factor]] over other common textiles, but its rapid redundancy as clothing, the ease of acquisition, and modest value makes it a solid choice for improving furniture [[beauty]] and providing bulk textiles for construction. Care should be taken however as, like other wools in RimWorld, it is exceptionally flammable.

== Trivia ==
Contrary to wool in real life, wool in [[RimWorld]] is more flammable than [[Cloth|cotton]], rather than less.
