{{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. Note that the amount of wool sheared scales with the the [[Animal Gather Yield]] of the shearer. 

Shearing takes {{Ticks|1700}}, regardless of the amount of wool produced, and only modified by the [[Animal Gather Speed]] of the handler.

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

== Usage ==
Alpaca wool can be used to craft and build the following things:

== Analysis ==
Along with the other [[wool]]s, alpaca wool has the second worst protective stats of any [[textile]] in the game, only beating [[cloth]] by virtue of heat armor. But like other wools, alpaca wool excels against the cold, offering the 4th best cold insulation. In comparison, its heat insulation is around many [[leather]]s, at 10th of all textiles. This makes alpaca clothes mostly used for cold insulation. Outside of the extreme cold, it may be wiser to use a less insulative, but more protective clothing. 

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.

As [[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. But 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.
