Alpacas are indigenous to the High Andes of the South American countries of Peru, Bolivia and Chile
and were domesticated over 5,000 years ago. They were first imported into North America for
domestic use in 1984. Alpacas come in variety of colours, including white, black, brown, grey, fawn
and any combination of these colours, the widest assortment of colours of any fibre bearing
animal. They produce fibre that is as fine as cashmere, soft, silky and much warmer and stronger
than sheep's wool. ~ Alpaca Canada
