Nanea Getting Kisses From Karen
Nanea Getting Treats From Karen
Nanea Getting Rubs From Karen
Nanea (which means "fascinating" in Hawaiian) and her baby Nohea, (it means "lovely" in Hawaiian), enjoying the fall foliage.
There are two kinds of alpacas. These are Huacaya alpacas, (pronounced Wuh-kai-ya). Huacayas are fluffy like teddy bears and Suris have long shiny locks like very soft, slightly curly hair. Alpacas are bred specifically for their fiber. High quality fleece from both species fetches top dollar on the international market. Some hand spinners like to spin alpaca fiber mixed with cotton, wool or Silk. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, ponchos, sweaters, socks, coats, bedding, and a wide variety of textiles.
