About Alpaca wool:
Alpaca wool is warmer than sheep's wool and lighter in weight. It is soft and luxurious and lacks the prickle factor. However, as with all fleece-producing animals, quality varies from animal to animal, and some alpaca produce wool, which is less than ideal. Alpaca wool and conformation are the two most important factors in determining an alpaca's value.
Animals from the Peruvian Accoyo line often have the best fiber characteristics. The Accoyo estancia of Peru practiced line breeding for example breeding granddaughters to their grandfathers and so forth, much like dog breeders do, and they managed to create exceptional fiber. Most Accoyo animals both Suri and Huacaya are white, although with diversification, there are some darker Accoyo animals. In physical structure, alpaca fiber is somewhat akin to human hair, being very glossy, but its softness and fineness enable the spinner to produce satisfactory yarn with comparative ease. Alpaca fiber can even be spun into yarn with one's fingers.
Alpaca woolen shawls for this Valentine:
The Indian tribes of Peru in South America, were the first ones those who used the alpaca wool in the manufacture of many types of fabrics for thousands of years before its introduction to the rest of the world as a commercial product. Moreover the alpaca was a crucial part of the ancient life in the Andes, as it not only provided with wool for warm clothing but also with meat. Today the wool of alpaca has become such famous that the numbers of alpacas are running short for providing
sufficient wool for the textile Industries. This is perhaps because of the efficiency of the alpaca wool as it provides better warmth and is also lighter in weight too, which makes it more comfortable in the colder climates. Most of the Alpaca shawls that are manufactured are woven together with merino wool in order to attain more softness and durability of the products. The preparing, combining, spinning, weaving and finishing process of the alpaca wool shawls are very much similar to that of woolen shawls.
