You know about Alpaca wool but can you get Llama wool?
"We don't select our classic llamas for their fiber quality. All the characteristics of good fiber production (as well as many of the characteristics of good fiber for spinning) are directly opposed to what's ideal for keeping working llamas easily combed for weather protection without overheating ... and working performance llamas is what we raise and use. The South Americans had it absolutely right -- two kinds of llamas for two purposes. Because of our immersion in performance llamas, we also didn't start out using llama fiber at all. However, we are continually finding ourselves in the position of educating others. We knew how much misinformation from "experts" is peddled out there as "fact" in all facets of llamas, so we finally undertook learning about fiber use in order to avoid inadvertantly passing on similar misinformation about fiber (and yep, we quickly found that there's plenty of misinformation about fiber out there, too). Although we do save the more suitable combings from our own classic herd for outer-garment and nongarment use (it's quite possible to spin, although not as easy nor as satisfying), for next-to-the-skin projects, we use fiber from good-quality woolly and silky llamas and alpacas" from Lost Creek Llama Wool is a type of real fur that is shaved from and similar animals to a sheep == ==
