Alpacas are domesticated animals native to South America, related to llamas but smaller and bred primarily for their luxurious fleece. Their woolly coats come in various colours and are shorn annually for textile production. Alpaca fibre is soft, warm and hypoallergenic, used in blankets, sweaters and other garments. Alpacas are gentle herbivores and are increasingly kept on UK farms.
