FIBER

FIBER

Llama fiber is not like sheep wool. It is hollow like a straw and therefore much warmer than wool. It is much like alpaca fiber but does have guard hair. Llamas have two fleeces and alpacas have only one type of fiber. The guard hair should be removed unless you want to make something strong like a rug.

I will show you on these links several aspects of the llama fiber and how it is processed and used.

1. Shear your llama

2. Processing it to get ready to felt, weave or spin
