At the present, only about 10 percent of the alpacas in the United States and 15 percent of the world's alpaca population is Suri. All alpaca fiber is fine and wonderful, but they have some different characteristics. Suri fiber has a wonderful luster to it and this is desired in many high end couture garments. The Suri Network publishes "PurelySuri" Magazine, conducts research about Suris and hosts an annual Suri show. |
