What is alpaca wool? Alpaca wool where does it come from?
It’s commonly called alpaca fiber… wool is from a sheep. The fiber from an alpaca (a mammal much like a llama) is warmer than sheep wool, stronger than sheep wool, less prickly than sheep wool, and is the next best thing to cashmere. The animal originates from South America and the Mayans used to hold their fiber for royalty only.
