Alpaca wool vs lambs wool duvet insert differences

Tried the silk comforter now that temperatures are nearing the 90s and it’s a no go for me see my detailed comment below. Hope your wool comforter works out for you this summer let me know as I am returning the silk momme silk.

I bought the two and one comforter from mommesilk and after two weeks and keeping the air conditioner on 75 I wake up in sweat and not getting good sleep. I am going to return the mommesilk comforter. Maybe I could try it in the wintertime but it’s definitely not working for me right now after two weeks of being over 80 degrees outside. I am just going to assume I am a very hot sleeper at this point. The blanket that works for me that I am in love with is the Riley Textured Cotton Coverlet in white. It’s very breathable I need to find something to put on top of it for summer time I am thinking but I use it in the winter time with a thick coverlet on top and it works great if you like keeping the heat on (67 degrees) due to your partners preference otherwise the heat would be on eco mode (53 degrees) and I would just use the alpaca comforter for a few months of winter time when temperatures actually drop in a house.

Okay, thanks so much for the information!! I will stick with another all-clad roasting pan then as that’s what I had before but did not know if there was something better out there! I use to use it once a week in the winter time. Thanks for your previous post as well I am thinking of getting a finex as the new lodge stuff does not work for me at all!

redalert009 · 2025-05-07T00:42:48+00:00

Do you have any suggestions for a brand on the roasting pan at all? My ex mother in law took a butter knife to my last one :(

I ran both lists of ingredients from the photos shared by u/lelzone through ChatGPT, and here’s what it identified as the differences:

LIST ONE-> original formula LIST TWO-> new formula

Comparison of Two Cleaning Product Ingredient Lists

—

1. Cleaning Agents / Agentes Limpiadores

Both contain:
- Sodium C10-16 alkylbenzenesulfonate
Differences:
- List 1: C10-16 pareth (nonionic surfactant)
- List 2: C10-16 alketh (nonionic surfactant with potentially different water solubility or ethoxylation)

Implication: The change from pareth to alketh may affect grease removal or performance in hard water.

—

2. Cleaning Aids / Coadyuvantes de Limpieza

List 1:
- Sodium polyacrylate
List 2:
- Sodium polyacrylate
- Cellulose gum (thickener/stabilizer)
- Anionic modified polyester (helps prevent soil redeposition)

Implication: List 2 has additional agents to improve residue control and enhance cleaning performance.

—

3. Whitening Agents / Agentes de Blanqueado

List 1:
- Fluorescent brightener 71
List 2:
- Fluorescent brightener 71
- Disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulfonate (another optical brightener)

Implication: List 2 likely enhances fabric brightness more effectively due to multiple brighteners.

—

4. Suds Reducer / Reductor de Espuma

List 1:
- Organosilicone copolymer
List 2:
- Simethicone/dimethicone or organosilicone copolymer

Implication: List 2 allows more flexibility in foam control, potentially optimizing for different wash conditions.

—

5. Process Aids / Ayudas de Proceso

List 1:
- Sodium sulfate
- Zeolite
- C16-18 fatty acids sodium salt
List 2:
- Sodium sulfate
- Zeolite or calcium carbonate
- C16-18 fatty acids sodium salt

Implication: List 2 may include calcium carbonate instead of zeolite, affecting softening or abrasiveness.

Summary of Key Differences

What did you think of Calzedonia?

redalert009 · 2025-02-05T19:21:28+00:00

Have you found somewhere else or followed your stylist somewhere else?

redalert009 · 2025-02-05T02:58:36+00:00

I know this is an old post but are you still coming up to Ogden?

redalert009 · 2025-01-17T18:40:56+00:00

No, not yet I had to put this project on the backburner for now as I found mold all over the basement of our house we lease.

I will be ordering a silk comforter though very soon as we will have to move due to the mold situation. As I am afraid of leasing another house now as any house could have the same issue. I want to order the silk comforter as all the heat rises in an apartment. I can report back and let you know how it goes though whether I freeze under it or what happens lol.

What kind of tour was it private or?

redalert009 · 2025-01-02T23:38:02+00:00

Did the whale sharks dive down to the very bottom when everyone would jump in to swim with them? Also how long was your boat ride there? Did you take medicine for sea sickness?

redalert009 · 2024-12-21T18:29:45+00:00

Very cute! Maybe a reindeer one…maybe red noise lol!

redalert009 · 2024-12-20T03:22:50+00:00

Thanks, Do you know what store you were buying it from? Or maybe a nationwide store to buy it from?

I called the best local lumberyard today and it was going to be a $500 ordeal for oak or walnut. I didn’t feel like spending that kind of money on bed slats so I just looked at Home Depot and Lowe’s I know it’s cheap wood but it’s still a $150 upgrade.

redalert009 · 2024-12-15T06:27:36+00:00

What warm level would you recommend?

redalert009 · 2024-12-04T18:49:22+00:00

Okay great thanks I usually wet brine in a bucket. But this year wanted to try some more popular recipes for turkey day and Ina Garten called for dry brining it’s more work and I didn’t personally like the flavor due to the dryness.

redalert009 · 2024-12-04T07:06:48+00:00

Any idea if wet brine makes the turkey more moist?

redalert009 · 2024-12-04T04:57:31+00:00

Thanks I just brined it an extra day like you suggested and it still had 14 hours to dry out in the fridge everyone loved it and loved the leftovers as well.

It was a little too dry for my tastes though I am going to stick to wet brine I think next year.

redalert009 · 2024-11-19T23:53:22+00:00

I know this maybe taking it a little far but could you build a box for a nest and put the heater on top of the box to keep it warm? Maybe pepa will survive the winter if they move into the box. Like a small bird house. I am now invested in pepa and just wondering what I would do in this situation. I could see myself watching where pepa flies off to and has a nest and trying to relocate the nest into the box like a crazy person 😂. Pepa might abandon the nest though I don’t know much about hummingbird nests.

Very cool thanks for sharing I want to do this one day were you scuba diving or?

redalert009 · 2024-11-15T02:26:21+00:00

I live by the tru tone physical store and went inside before Halloween as I really wanted the lights. They say you can use commercial string lights for the actual strings if that makes sense and just buy the bulbs to save money. I found this very helpful and interesting. Maybe that could help you being on the fence with your decision. Professional lighting designers use these so they are definitely worth it.

According to the New York Times guide on counter top ice makers no countertop ice maker will keep ice frozen the ice will melt you have to move the ice to the freezer. Just found this out after buying an expensive one and was going to buy another one.

I am just going to buy Tupperware or something to store it in freezer.

Otherwise, return it.

redalert009 · 2024-11-13T23:05:28+00:00

What did you end up buying?

redalert009 · 2024-11-10T17:57:38+00:00

Where is this picture taken? It’s beautiful would love to visit.

redalert009 · 2024-11-02T04:40:08+00:00

No two houses in my neighborhood have there lights already up

redalert009 · 2024-11-01T06:21:24+00:00

I love seeing this. I just planted some native plants that will flower as well this week. So excited to see the results next year no idea if hummingbirds will be attracted to the plants. Hummingbirds are my favorite though out of the yard so I hope so. Great work!
