Alpaca is a specialty luxury fiber. More alpaca fiber is produced
each year than cashmere or mohair. No other animal produces fiber that
has the softness of cashmere, the luster of silk, the lightness of
goose feathers, the durability of wool, and the warmth of a cozy
fireplace. The alpaca has been domesticated (as versus its kin llama,
which is primarily a work animal) and carefully bred for over 5,000
years as a luxury fiber-producing animal. Alpaca wool has been prized
for centuries for its incredible combination of softness, lightness,
and warmth.
