Alpaca wool is wonderful - we had an alpaca blanket. it's so soft and not at all itchy!

Can't you just sell the fiber to some huge clothing company and forget about it? Is that not an option? Like can't you just sell it to Northface, or something instead of having to sell clothes?

Not interested, just curious, but don't they use them as food as well in South America, they're related to sheep, so do they taste the same?
