Sheepskin is the hide of a sheep, sometimes also called lambskin. Unlike common leather, sheepskin is tanned with the fleece intact, as in a pelt. The fleece of sheepskin has excellent insulating properties and is also resistant to flame and static electricity.

About
Sheepskin
Alpaca wool
Alpaca fleece is one of the most prized natural fibres in the world. Naturally grown on alpacas, a camelid native to South America, there are two types of fleece, namely the Huacaya and the Suri. Huacaya fibre is similar to sheep's wool, but is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic. Suri is similar to natural silk and has a dreadlock appearance.
Silk
Silk is the strongest natural textile in the world, produced by silkworms in the making of cocoons and collected to create thread and fabric. Made primarily of a protein called fibroin, silk is known for its shine and softness as a material.
