全世界最貴的毛料 - 羊駝
羊駝2年長成成羊，一般生活在150隻的羊駝群裡，
僅能每兩年剪毛一次 ; 羊駝的毛是最細最優質的
南美洲有四種特有的羊駝類動物：
llama (Lama glama)
alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
guanaco(or huanaco) (Lama guanico)
vicuña (Vicugna vicugna)
這4種主要都生長在高海拔地區
除了llama從印加時期就作為馱獸之外，後面三種皮毛品質都不錯
(不過vicuña & guanaco是保育類動物)
 
皮毛價格粗估(每公斤)：
llama：$ 5 USD
alpaca：$ 50 USD
vicuña：$ 1000 USD
guanaco的價格介於alpaca & vicuña之間
近年來羊駝價格飆升，只升不降～

Beautiful 100% Baby Alpaca scarf inspired by the textile art of the Parcas culture (700 BC. - 100 BC). Parcas textiles are known for their bright colors and images of supernatural creatures or shamans. They were made of wool and cotton, the wool coming from the Alpaca and Lama. The natural dyes used, surprisingly kept their color after more than 2,000 years.

Story behind the product
The scarf is from a famous peruvian lifestyle brand KUNA, that is inspired by the unique textile heritage of the inca culture. It combines the skill and the traditional knowledge of the textile craftsmen of the Andes with modern technology and design. The peruvian quality brand is part of the Inca Group, pioneer in the trade and export of alpaca products.
 
Vertically integrated operations guarantee ethical business practices based on the wellbeing of man and nature throughout the whole value chain. KUNA participates in several programs that benefit the local rural communities: Ttextile workshops, incentives that encourage the practice of raising alpacas, as well as the education of the local communities in the environment. For one of the projects the comany donated alpaca yarn to the remote village of Llali, where it taught 117 mothers knitting techniques. This way, 750 school children received a new warm sweater while their mothers earned a salary and learned a handicraft that provides an additional source of income. In March 2010, Incalpaca, Kuna’s parent company has been praised by the Mexican Center for Philantrophy (CEMEFI) for exemplary social responsibility in Latin America.
