Alpaca Fiber Quality featuring Amanda VandenBosch

In this short video, we discuss alpaca fiber quality with Amanda VandenBosch - breeder, judge, and owner of Flying Dutchman Alpaca.
Amanda shares with us some examples of Huacaya fleece, pointing out details in the structure and texture with focus on fiber health, strength, consistency and brightness, and how all of these features will affect the end product. She stresses the importance of the care and nutrition of the alpaca during the fleece growing phase.
Amanda then shares with us some examples of Suri fleece, touching on the uniqueness of their locks of fiber, which lend to a cool, silky fleece with a brilliant luster, and an end product that creates an incredible drape. She once again stresses the importance of the health of the animal itself in creating a brilliance and luster of fiber that quality breeders and judges look for.
