Yeees alpacas are so lovely <3 <3 Some time ago we encountered some therapy alpacas and llamas on a meadow near our flat and they were sooooo soft and lovely. The photo shows one of the alpacas, but it's training was not finished, so we were not allowed to touch it or walk with it.

We were allowed to walk with a llama instead which was also so beautiful. You can see the photo above in a comment to @cryptocariad
The alpaca sweater was only a test and sadly it is too small for my liking. I do not have enough of this fabric to make a whole dress out of it ...
And my mothers dress is still waiting (sigh) I am still too afraid to cut it.
