Alpaca wool strip is an mportant part of sheep spinning materials, and the Textile Exchange provides relevant information on the supply chain of sheep dragging. There are two main varieties of alpaca wool strips, Suri and Huacaya.The Souli variety is thinner and softer, comparable to cashmere and silk. The Huacayo variety has a finer curl and is the main variety for textile applications.

More than 90% of the world's alpacas live in Peru and the plateau in South America, and the rest are distributed in Vicoria and New South Wales in Australia, so the production of alpaca in Peru affects the global supply of alpaca hair.

The price of alpaca wool strips has remained stable from 2023 to 2024. Even though the prices of finished clothing are generally stable and falling.A drought in Peru in 2023, which reduced alpaca production, may have supported the strength of alpaca wool. But this firming trend runs counter to the general trend in global apparel pricing and sales.
