Alpaca is a domesticated animal species
Even those who live in the highlands need human help and care. Alpacas love communication and attention.
There are two types of alpacas in nature.
Huacaya
- Huacaya alpacas have short fur that sticks out perpendicular to the skin, so they look like plush toys.
- Huacaya is the most numerous and resembles a teddy bear in appearance.
- In most cases, this is what is meant by the name «alpaca»
Suri
- The Suri alpaca has longer wool, curling at the bottom into dreadlocks.
- Suri is the rarest (about 120 thousand alpacas in total - 5%) and valuable (2 times more expensive than Huacaya) type of alpaca.
- Compared to Huacaya, Suri fleece consists of longer and thinner fibers (19-25 microns) - these are uniform and thick curls, straight along the entire length and slightly curled at the ends, they do not contain guard hairs that reduce the quality of the fleece.
- Suri wool is particularly soft and elegant. In the old days, it was used exclusively for royalty.
