meg’s dad has an alpaca ranch in his back yard.
alpaca fleece is a light-weight, lustrous and silky natural fiber. while similar to sheep’s wool in that it is a natural fiber, it is warmer, not prickly, and bears no lanolin which makes it hypoallergenic. it is also soft and luxurious. in physical structure, alpaca fiber is somewhat akin to hair, being very glossy, but its softness and fineness enable the spinner to produce satisfactory yarn with comparative ease.
