baby alpaca
Infant Andean livestock
Baby alpaca refers to the fine, soft fleece from the first shearing of a young alpaca, prized for its exceptional softness and considered among the most luxurious natural fibers.
The term applies to the fiber itself and to garments made from it: a baby alpaca sweater.
It does not typically refer to a young alpaca animal, though context determines meaning.
