Alpaca is used and sold:

As lightweight yarns for wonderful lacy shawls, scarves and ponchos,
Finer, more tightly spun yarns for weavers or commercially knitted socks,
As bulky yarns for wonderfully warm and soft winter clothing – socks, mitts, scarves, hats, …
As hand or machine-felted clothing, accessories, insoles, boot liners, …
As quilt batts for vests, light and warm duvets/comforters, sleeping bags, …
As coarser, thicker yarns (higher than 34 microns) for rug weaving, saddle blankets, …
As mill-produced luxury cloth,
As knitted, woven, felted items for home décor.
I did not know that!
