I think most people shear their alpacas yearly and I shear at the most every other year so the staple length on my llamas tends to be a bit longer than most alpaca. The majority of my herd has been hand selected and/or bred for fine fiber so softness and handle-wise my llama fibers are extremely close to alpaca. In fact, many of my llama fleeces are softer than alpaca fleeces I've purchased from alpaca breeders.Split Rock Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562253670243573735.post-40405978585562685422011-04-23T12:50:53.022-06:002011-04-23T12:50:53.022-06:00Gorgeous...

I know, especially with fiber from individual animals, it can vary a lot... but on average, would you say the staple is longer/shorter? Finer/coarser?Joyunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452257932375803961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562253670243573735.post-16470237237093833722011-04-22T10:26:32.042-06:002011-04-22T10:26:32.042-06:00Thank you Regi!
