What is the difference between alpaca fur and alpaca fleece?
Alpaca fibre is in more demand in the textile business than wool because it is a natural fabric that gives more warmth without the harsh texture of wool. Alpaca apparel is warm, soft, and highly comfortable because of this. The increased awareness of alpaca fiber's high quality and sustainability has resulted in an increase in demand for the fibre in the textile and fashion industries. The alpaca fibre market is predicted to develop dramatically in the next years, thanks to the constantly expanding number of alpaca fibre fashion boutiques around the world. With the surge in demand for warm and soft alpaca fibre, the alpaca fibre market is rising at a quick rate as the trend of supplying highly sustainable and eco-friendly clothes and accessories gains popularity in the fashion apparel industry. Manufacturers are focusing on alpaca nutrition to improve alpaca fibre quality - While the alpaca fibre market is increasing at a rapid pace, industry players are working to improve the quality of alpaca fibre in order to attract more customers. Because high genetic merits can lead to vast volumes of high-quality alpaca fibre, alpaca fibre manufacturers are focusing their efforts on providing nutritious diet to alpacas. Alpaca nutrition has a big impact on their health and reproduction capacities, and it also helps them produce softer, higher-quality fibre. Peru remains the world's leading producer and exporter of alpaca fibre, with China and Italy as the primary destinations for Peruvian alpaca fibre exports. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) developed the luxury fashion brand "Alpaca del Per" for the sale of high-quality alpaca fibre clothes and accessories to capitalise on numerous commercial opportunities in the alpaca fibre market.

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.
