What's An Alpaca?
In case you were wondering, an alpaca is a domesticated species of South American camel that closely resembles a small llama in appearance.
Alpaca herds are primarily found in the Andes of southern Peru, northern Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were bred specifically for their fiber.
Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles, ponchos sweaters, socks, coats and bedding
An adult alpaca is generally between 81 and 99 cm (2' 8" and 3' 3") in height and weighs between 48 and 84 kg (106 and 185 lbs).
