Encyclopedia article on the alpaca, both the South American domesticated animal and the fibre and fabric made from it. It covers the animal's habitat and wool colours, the history of alpaca cloth manufacture in Europe (Benjamin Outram, Titus Salt, Bradford cotton-warp fabrics), and trade statistics for imports and exports of alpaca, mohair and yarns up to 1905. It ends with notes on failed acclimatization attempts and the llama hybrid 'Huarizo'.
