Evil Alpaca said:Actuallly, I think cashmere comes from goats. Llamas/alpacas produce wool.
Tatelou said:Now you're just splitting hairs. Cashmere is a kind of wool. You can't fool us, we want your fleece.

perdita said:Yep, Asian goats. Cashmere is produced from the hair on their underbellies which is why it's so expensive (not as easy to find or harvest as shaving sheep).
Perdita
See. Others want to shave you too. I only wanted to do it to save you from the humidity of your new locale (no, I'm not saying Evil's going to hell, but isn't that where evil ends up? I digress.)Tatelou said:Probably!
Quick, someone hold him down, there's money to be made.![]()
Evil Alpaca said:Baaaaaaad pun.
But cashmere comes from a particular type of goat! Honest! Put the damn shears down and slowly back away!

Lou wants to finance her kid's summer camp from your fur. Watch out.

perdita said:Ok, I looked it up. You'll see Alpaca fleece (vs. wool) is rarer than Cashmere. Here. P.

You mean you are not really a typing Alpaca? I'm calling my Lawyer.Evil Alpaca said:Sigh. I really should've picked a less adorable AV, shouldn't I? Oh well, it's just the price of being fabulous!

perdita said:Loulou, if he's shaved really really close, ya think there'd be enough fleece to make me a new hat too? P.

Ewww, image of a naked alpaca with shaving rash. P.Tatelou said:I'd hate for him to squirm and get shaving rash.![]()
Evil Alpaca said:Of course I'm a typing Alpaca! I just should have gotten a picture that didn't showcase my good side . . .
(Okay, I've set myself WAY up now, and I'll be miffed if no one runs with it . . . )
