Is this a llama or an alpaca? The animals are often confused, but this is an alpaca! They are much smaller and more gentle than llamas. Also, the ears and fur differ. An alpaca has straight, pointed ears, the llama has ears similar to bananas:). The llama has no fur you can spin, the llama has lama hair. Llamas do not need to be shaved! And oh yes, an alpaca can actually carry nothing on its back and a llama of course can.

This cute alpaca is about 30cm high and is crocheted by Joyce and Annemiek of Cuddly hooks is fun. It is crocheted according to a free pattern of Durable yarn, which is designed by CuteDutch

The pattern is well and clearly described. Crochet with this type of yarn was a little getting used to. You don't see the stitches very well, but they're fine to feel. Once you see it, it hooks away. As a result, a wonderfully soft cuddly toy. This alpaca is about 30cm high.
