It is a well known fact that the Peruvian alpacas are primarily white and the Chilean alpacas are a multitude of the 22 natural colors and have over 150 shades within those colors. Alpaca fiber is one of the softest in the world, second only to cashmere. Also it is one of the strongest and warmest fibers in the world. Alpacas are sheared once per year producing several pounds (usually between 4 – 6 lbs. (1800 – 2700 grams on average) of fiber.

Shetland Sheep
are originally from the Shetland Islands.They are one of the smallest
breeds of sheep. This fleece is one of the finest of the British sheep.
Their extremely soft wool is usually around the 23 micron count.
Shetland Sheep come in 11 natural colors (more than any other breed of
sheep) and 30 distinctive markings. They produce approx. 3 - 5 pounds of
Shetland wool per year. Females do not grow horns and the males
horns are quite unique. Unlike other breeds, Shetland's do not have to
have their tails docked and their tails have a very distinctive fluke
shape. Sheep Associations we belong to include the Canadian Livestock
Records Corporation, North American Shetland Sheepbreeders Association

Spanish Goats
are a rare, heritage breed of goat.
Originating from Spain as a large (mature
bucks weigh on average 250 lbs), strong, very hardy
(ability to survive and thrive under adverse
agroclimatic conditions with only limited management
inputs), cashmere producing, fertile,
parasite-resistant, and versatile, goat. Primarily a
meat breed, the Spanish goat also has the ability to
breed out of season and can therefore does can have
kids more often then once per year.
Previously they were kept mainly for clearing brush and other undesirable plant species from pasture lands. Now with the escalating demand for goat meat and the expanding interest in cashmere production have focused attention on the Spanish goat. An average goat can produce 4 oz of cashmere per year.

Chile and Bolivia. The world famous Accoyo's are from Peru. Accoyo's are
the product of a very specific breeding program that started in the
1940's. Accoyo alpacas, on average double that of the average alpaca.
