Alpaca Fleece and Fiber

• Today the alpaca fiber market in South America is a multi-million dollar industry. Over the centuries, breeding practices have resulted in a consistent, uniform coat of fine, luxury fiber.
  
  
• Alpaca fiber occupies a small niche in the world textile fiber market. American breeders are working aggressively to establish a commercial market in this country.
  
  
• Alpaca fiber, which has no lanolin, is very different from wool. People who are allergic to wool can usually wear alpaca garments.
