Camelid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The four llamas and two camels are camelids: members of the biological family Camelidae, the only living family in the suborder Tylopoda.

Camel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bactrian camels have two coats: the warm inner coat of down and a rough outer coat which is long and hairy. They shed their fibre in clumps consisting of both coats, which can be gathered and separated. They produce approximately 7 kg (15 lb) of fiber annually. The fibre structure is similar to cashmere wool. The down is usually 2 to 8 cm (1–3 inches) long. While camel down does not felt easily, it may be spun into a yarn for knitting.

Lama (genus)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lama is the modern genus name for two South American camelids, the wild guanaco and the domesticated llama. They were kept not only for their value as beasts of burden, but also for their flesh, hides, and wool.

The wool is extremely delicate and soft, and highly valued for the purposes of weaving, but the quantity which each animal produces is minimal.

Alpaca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid developed from the wild alpacas. In the textile industry, "alpaca" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpaca, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair, Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality English wool.
