There are 16 ounces in one pound of alpaca fleece, just like any other type of fiber or weight measurement. This means that if you have one pound of alpaca fleece, it will equal 16 ounces.
Wool and fleece are basically the same thing. Wool is only called a fleece when it has been sheared off the sheep/goat/llama/alpaca in one peice.
One. Gestation for an alpaca is about 11.5 months and they usually only have one baby at a time.
At least 4 people. One to lead the alpaca in and hold the head during shearing. One to maintain tension on the ropes holding the alpaca stretched out. One to do the actual shearing. And another to gather up the fleece. For things to move quickly & efficiently with a small herd to shear, 8 is a good number. One shearer, one to hold the head, and another to manage the ropes. Then 2 people to bring the alpacas in & out, another 2 to gather the fleece, and one person to sweep up between alpacas.

There are many places, but one I recommend is www.peruhandicraft.com Some fur shops have alpaca products, as well as in many flea markets. If you plan on going to Peru any time soon, Alpaca fur is one of their main exports. Also, ordering from Peru works, too.
