    Alpaca fleece is a soft, durable, and luxurious natural fiber harvested from alpacas. It is warmer than wool, not prickly, and hypoallergenic as it does not contain lanolin. There are two main varieties - Huacaya which has a natural crimp making it well-suited for knitting, and Suri which is smoother and better for woven fabrics. Alpaca fleece is used to make a range of products from inexpensive local garments to high-end suits. Processing alpaca fleece into yarn and fabrics is similar to wool production.

    Alpaca fleece is the natural fiber harvested from an alpaca. It is light or heavy in weight,
    depending on how it is spun. It is a soft, durable, luxurious [1] and silky natural fiber. While similar
    to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, which makes
    it hypoallergenic.[1][2] Alpaca fiber is naturally water-repellent and difficult to
    ignite.[3] Huacaya, an alpaca that grows soft spongy fiber, has natural crimp, thus making a
    naturally elastic yarn well-suited for knitting. Suri has no crimp and thus is a better fit for woven
    goods. The designer Armani has used Suri alpaca to fashion men's and women's suits.[4] Alpaca
    fleece is made into various products, from very simple and inexpensive garments made by the
    indigenous communities to sophisticated, industrially made and expensive products such as
    suits. In the United States, groups of smaller alpaca breeders have banded together to create
    "fiber co-ops," to make the manufacture of alpaca fiber products less expensive.
    The preparing, carding, spinning, weaving and finishing process of alpaca is very similar to the
    process used for wool.
    Angora hair or Angora fibre refers to the downy coat produced by the Angora rabbit. While their
    names are similar, Angora fibre is distinct from mohair, which comes from the Angora goat.

    Cashmere scarves

    Cashmere wool, usually simply known as cashmere, is a luxury fiber obtained from cashmere
    goats and other types of goat. The word cashmere is an old spelling of Kashmir, the
    geographical region of Pakistan and India.

    Also known as Endi or Errandi, Eri is a multivoltine silk spun from open-ended cocoons, unlike
    other varieties of silk.
    Tasar is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth
    genus Antheraea,

    The bulk of the commercial silk produced in the world comes from this variety and often silk
    generally refers to mulberry silk.
