    Love Paragraphic! Been a viewer for years. Found an incredible 100% Alpaca wool coat at a boutique thrift store. Warm, lightweight, but breathable material. I get tons of compliments on it. Also bought some Alpaca/Sheepwool winter socks. Changed the game! Warm feet that don't sweat and don't get cold walking on the cold floors.

    To clarify, Peruvians don't all eat alpacas, it's not all that common. It would basically be out of necessity to eat what's locally available in the mountain ranges.

    I looked up Alpaca after seeking Mareina Wool Socks and learning about a different type of wool unheard of. And watched your you tube contribution. If Alpaca is comparable or a better insulator than wool this would be a game changer when battling cold weather. Most socks I buy are compromised of Blends of polyester and spandex. Not as warm as wool. Wool tends to be more durable to maintain warmth. Blankets made of 100% Wool are used in different Armed forces. But Alpaca? Finding a product with 60% Wool Blend is hard to find. But a variety which is 100% would be very convenient. I recently learned about a store which opened up last year in Prinsten IL. I need to visit to buy Socks made from Alpaca Wool. Nothing like a good pair of warm socks in my boots. Am curious how this wool stacks up against Mareno Wool I hear so much about? And Mareno Wool is heavy, which is why if Alpaca Wool is lighter that it might be better when hiking with an overnight bag to have a light weight blanket that insulates and is much easier to carry with me along with my back packing essentials. Less tiring on those long hikes or when stranded in my car during a break down or snow storm. And after seeing this infomative article “Alpaca” warm Blanket and socks .🦙

    Wow! Thanks so much for this vid! Only seen a few Alpacas on private lands, but hardly knew much about them except that they CAN protect sheep herds as well! Plus, Alpaca-wool sweaters are AMAZING! Please do more educational videos; I have never seen such love between Human and Alpacas like this. You care for your animals and I see that they care for you! God bless you and your family business! ^^

    Very very informative! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. I love alpacas. I'd love to volunteer at a farm some day. I have a question. Do you ever bathe the alpacas or is it not necessary?

    • @tinkuyshop
      @tinkuyshop ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, I also work with baby alpaca wool so, in most cases alpacas do not require frequent bathing unless there is a specific reason to do so, such as if an alpaca rolls in something particularly dirty or smelly, a bath might be warranted but, a veterinarian may recommend bathing with specific shampoos or treatments.
      When bathing alpacas, it's important to use mild, non-toxic shampoos specifically formulated for animals and to rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

    • @husufields
      @husufields ปีที่แล้ว

      If you’re selling to bigger businesses, white, since it’s easier to dye. Speciality shops and businesses will buy the other natural colors. That’s just the generics though, and the color of their fleece doesn’t necessarily exclude them from bigger or specialty businesses.

      Not at all friend. Domesticate fiber animals usually have to be shaved for their health. It can cause them to overheat and put a lot of extra weight on them, as well as a few other factors.
      Imagine you put on another layer of clothing every month that you could never take off unless someone else did it. And alpacas are smart! They will mostly be nervous the first time around, but usually they learn that they’re not in danger and they feel relieved after being shaved.
