Alpacas have pads instead of hooves and are gentle ruminants. This makes alpacas very kind to pastures. Alpaca fiber is prized for its luxurious softness, warmth, and luster. It has an extremely low prickle factor and a higher insulation value than wool. Alpaca fiber contains no lanolin or grease, so a clean fleece can be spun immediately after shearing.
Alpacas are handsome, intelligent, earth-friendly creatures that respond well to human interaction.
