It is light or heavy in weight, depending on how it is spun. It is a soft, durable, luxurious\u00a0 and silky natural fiber. While similar to sheep\u2019s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.\u00a0<\/p><p>Alpaca fiber is naturally water-repellent and difficult to ignite. Huacaya, an alpaca that grows soft spongy fiber, has natural crimp, thus making a naturally elastic yarn well-suited for knitting. Suri has no crimp and thus is a better fit for woven goods. Alpaca fleece is made into various products, from very simple and inexpensive garments made by the indigenous communities to sophisticated, industrially made and expensive products such as suits.The preparing, carding, spinning, weaving and finishing process of alpaca is very similar to the process used for wool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c02768f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c02768f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbde33f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fbde33f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01da115 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"01da115\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">TYPES<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15fdd1e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"15fdd1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-097c87e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"097c87e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are two types of alpaca: Huacaya (which produce a dense, soft, crimpy sheep-like fiber), and the Suri (with silky pencil-like locks, resembling dreadlocks but without matted fibers).<\/p><p>The Suri is thought to be rarer, most likely because the breed was reserved for royalty during Incan times.
