About Alpaca Alpaca hair has a hollow center in the fiber which makes it very moisturizing and surprisingly warm. In addition, it does not easily pile. Although alpaca has such excellent characteristics, unfortunately there are some problems in its production. One of the problems is that the number of colored alpacas, such as black and brown, is decreasing. Due to the distribution of chemical dyeing, the demand for white alpaca, which is easier to dye, has increased, while the demand for brown and black alpaca, which are harder to dye, has decreased. In the past, more than 40 different colors of alpacas were raised in the area, but now the majority of alpacas are white.
