Belonging to the camelid family, alpacas live in the high altitudes of the South American Andes in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. Unlike the llama, which was used as a beast of burden by South American civilizations, the alpaca is highly valued in the textile industry due to the quality of its wool. For thousands of years, the inhabitants of the Andes have used the soft and robust fibers of alpacas, developing a craft tradition around spinning, weaving, and dyeing, which is still celebrated today.
