Historically, because native South Americans bred llamas for packing and alpacas for fibre, llama fibre was not as good for clothing as alpaca fibre. The natives carried out breedings that suppressed the fibre in llamas and enhanced the fibre in alpacas. We are one of the farms that has recognized that the common genetic ancestry of llamas and alpacas makes it possible to produce llama fibre that is as good as alpaca fibre. We achieve this by llama breedings that rejuvenate the inherent quality fibre genetics of llamas. The result is that our llama herd can produce fibre that is as soft and appealing as alpaca fibre. In our Speechless Friends division we use llama and alpaca fibre interchangeably.
