About Alpaca Fleece a.k.a. Alpaca Fleece or Alpaca Fiber

Alpaca fiber is as fine as cashmere, as warm as polar bear fur, strong, lustrous and beautifully extravagant.  It's a favorite among handspinners for all of these reasons.  Alpaca fur is renowned worldwide in the fashion industry for its excellent characteristics. 

You might want to buy raw fleece just after it's sheared off the alpaca, batts, rovings, or handspun alpaca yarn.  Or you might just want to purchase an alpaca for your own annual source of alpaca fiber.

Ever wonder about the difference between alpaca and llama fiber? Alpacas have been bred over many centuries to achieve uniform, fine, fleece across their back or blanket area with little or no course guard hairs, resulting in a more consistent high quality fiber. While there are some llamas that may offer fiber as fine or finer, throughout the llama family there is great inconsistency.
