Best Answer

A suri alpaca is a breed of alpacas with particularly fine, silky fiber. It is considered the more valuable type of alpaca fiber and tends to bring a higher price on the market.

You can bath a suri alpaca, but not a huacaya because it will ruin the fiber's texture.

What does Suri mean in Japanese?

It's llama You're right, it is a llama. I am assuming that you (this reader) knows what a llama is. A suri llama is a type of llama that differs it from the normal llamas by it's fleece. Normal llamas have fleece that is similar in looks as a sheep's wool, though llama fleece doesn't have lanolin (the type of oil in sheep's wool) in it, so it is not possible to have an allergic reaction to there fleece as some people do of wool. Anyway, "normal llamas" are called silky, because of their fleece. But suri fleece is much like a mop dog's hair. It is in beautiful locks of hair that are very separated like. It is not just a huge Afro kind-of-thing like on sheep. Suri is also MUCH heavier than regular silky (Huycaya on an alpaca). If you have a bag of suri and a bag of silky fiber that weighed the same the suri would be about ten times heavier. On the pictures you can actually see how the suri fleece is heavier by the way it hangs and doesn't puff. This is a silky llama: This is a suri llama: I know that it doesn't make sense that a suri llama is more silky feeling than a silky llama, but not everything in the world makes sense. This image below is actually an alpaca, but both llamas and alpacas have suri fleece, and this was just an awesome example of suri fiber.
