    Shalimar Alpaca Breaders. 😂 I wish him the best of luck, but he desperately needs to hire a native English speaker to edit the website.

        They do, and I love alpaca. It’s so incredibly soft and warm.

          It is too warm for me but I imagine I will eventually age back into alpaca 🙂

            😁 I’m like the princess and the pea when it comes to temperature regulation. I sweat all summer and shiver all winter.

    Sweet video! As a hand spinner, I enjoyed that alpacas just as much as the perfume.

      I am not a spinner or a knitter, and I find alpaca hard to wear, but I liked seeing them too!
