Description: Alpacas are members of the camel family, along with llamas, vicunas, and guanacos.
Adult alpacas stand approximately 3 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh 100 - 175 pounds.
Since ancient times, the South American Andes Mountains have been the ancestral home to the prized alpaca. Their fleece was cherished by members of the Incan civilization (referred to as "The Fiber of the Gods"), and their graceful herds of alpaca roamed the lush foothills and mountainous pastures.
Alpacas were domesticated from the vicuna by the Incas in the harsh climate of the Andes Mountains of South America over 5000 years ago and are among the most ancient of the world's domestic animals.
There are two different alpacas types, the suri and the huacaya. The suri has fiber that grows quite long and forms silky, pencil-like locks. The huacaya has a shorter, dense, crimpy fleece, giving it a very woolly appearance.
Alpacas wool comes in lot of different shades ranging from almost white to dark brown.
