The wooliferousness of my house is so embedded that I think I no longer notice it. I make felt, spin, knit, dye with many types of wool. I have loads of wool in my stash. I imagine I have wool fibers in my lungs.
But I want to mention that alpaca is a good choice for people who prefer an even softer, and possibly less odiferous, fiber. It is silkier and even warmer than merino wool, which I love. Alpaca is best for sox, hats, etc. as it is expensive and not as elastic as wool.
My dog, a low shedding labradoodle, smells very different. He gets Truly Stinky!
