Suri Llamas

    We are members of the Suri Llama Association which was founded in 2003 for the purpose of improving and preserving the Suri Llama breed by maintaining an authoritative Breed Standard and officiating the Keuring process which allows entrance into the SLA registry.

    The hallmark of a Suri Llama is distinct locked fiber architecture with luster. The fleece hangs straight from a natural midline part on the neck through to the tail. The straight narrow locks form close to the skin and maintain a uniform profile to the tips.

    Suri llama fiber exhibits independent movement. The primary characteristics that distinguish Suri llama are it's high luster, independent, narrow lock structure, cool, slick handle, long staple length, fineness and lock definition in regrowth after shearing.

    The ideal Suri llama exhibits little medullation and an absence of crimp. The fiber should not display loft or puffiness. The natural characteristics of Suri llama fleece are displayed consistently and uniformly throughout the entire animal. For more information go to www.surillama.com.
