The alpaca (also pako) is a domesticated camel species that is bred for its wool and meat. Alpaca wool is rarely used in Europe. Due to the calm and peaceful nature of alpacas as pets and companion animals, they are often used in animal-assisted therapy. There are two types of alpaca. They differ in the structure of their fiber: the Huacaya alpaca has a fine, evenly curled fiber and some outer hairs that should be as fine as possible. The Suri alpaca, on the other hand, has no curl in the fiber; the hair forms curly, straight strands that hang down from the animal. This often makes Suris appear slimmer than Huacayas.

The alpaca is an animal that is becoming increasingly popular. It produces a fine and silky wool with good quality. In fact, it is extremely comfortable due to its softness, lightness and warmth.
Alpacas are also increasingly being used for therapeutic reasons.
