The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images in their art. There are no known wild alpacas, and its closest living relative, the vicuÃ±a (also native to South America), are believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca. The alpaca is larger than the vicuÃ±a, but smaller than the other camelid species.
Traditionally, alpacas were bred in South America for their fiber. Their fleece is softer, stronger and warmer (at the same weight) than sheepâs wool. An adult produces up to 10 pounds of fiber each year. The fiber is processed differently than sheepâs wool, and the cost of processing can be substantial.Consequently, it can be challenging to create a viable business raising alpacas solely for the raw fleece.n adult produces up to 10 pounds of fiber each year.
