Alpaca fibre characteristics.
Alpaca fibre is an incredible fibre. It is soft like cashmere and strong like mohair. Alpaca fleece is very warm and is an exceptional insulator, because the fiber is hollow, products have a very soft feel and are comfortable to wear.

Fibre selling.
There are 2 main outlets for alpaca fiber. Weavers and hand spinners love to work with alpaca fiber. The price is influenced by the color and the quality of the fleece with the average price being US$3 to US$5 per ounce in the USA, less in other countries.
The second and most important outlet is the commercial clothing manufacturing industry market. Alpaca owners and breeders around the world are actively promoting alpaca fibre and are involved with fibre co-operatives assisting breeders to sell their products into these commercial markets.
Today in Europe and the USA there are many examples of alpaca garments selling in the exclusive boutiques and clothing shops. Alpaca fibre is also used in many instances to blend with sheeps wool. Some of the poorer quality fibre from the legs of the alpaca is used for making socks where it is blended with lycra. This poorer quality fibre is also used for duvet fillings.
