The alpaca wool is obtained by shearing the animal, which is stress-free for the animals when used by reputable breeders. The wool is then washed and, after drying, spun into yarn.

There are two types of alpacas, the Huacaya and the Suri . Their fur differs in structure. The Huacaya alpaca has a fine and even fiber and some guard hairs, The Suri alpaca has no curl in the fiber, the hair forms straight strands.

Alpacas are camels and the colors of their fur range from white to dark grays or browns. Alpacas live up to 30 years and can be sheared several times during this time.
