Where Does Alpaca comes from?

Derived from the magnificent highlands of the Andes in South America, primarily Peru, alpaca wool comes in two distinct breeds: Huacaya and Suri. Huacaya alpacas boast a dense and fluffy fleece, while Suri alpacas showcase long, straight locks of fiber.

The Raw wool from Alpaca are either processed at Peru itself or sent to countries like China, India, Italy to turn them into yarns of different blends. People in Peru also hand spun the yarn to create hand knit apparels.
