A couple of pals enjoying the morning together at Mountain Dream Alpacas in Waynesville NC.

Alpacas are sociable, adorable, gentle, soft, and curious. There are no wild alpacas, and they are mainly raised for their soft wool.

Alpaca fur is a prized fiber for artisans and crafters. The fur is very soft and does not retain water. It is also very durable and is the second strongest animal fiber.

Alpacas come in 22 colors, from a true, blue-black through browns and tans to white.
