Which means that most of the good fibre is exported, probably to Europe, North America and Australia. We travelled to Bolivia a couple of weeks ago and it was frustrating not to find one single skein of pure alpaca wool. It´s just sad that the best goods are for export and locals don´t get to enjoy them. On the other hand, raising awareness for purchasing long-lasting quality items that go beyond "this year´s must-haves" is a great thing in itself.
