Guide to Fiber Intensive: Huacaya Alpaca

Alpacas were domesticated in South America at least 5,000 years ago. If you want only one document about the alpacas, this is the one to start with. While the huacaya, suri, and paco-vicuña have different types of fiber, huacayas themselves come in several varieties--and a vast array of natural colors. This discussion includes coverage of the family relationships among the South American camelids, including hybrids, and also how alpaca and wool are similar and how they're different. Additional notes cover working with the fiber.
