The alpaca stuff you can find in London are shit, they felt more like wools than proper alpaca (which felt very soft and smooth, almost silk-like).
My girlfriend brought me a scarf made out of those, but it was the grey alpaca jumper that sold it, worn it for the tweed run with only a merino wool t-shirt underneath - perfect, not too hot and very breathable.
