A friend and I call these alpacas, huasuris. ;o) And yes their fiber is very soft and silky. Fiber people LOVE them! Heck - I LOVE how their fiber feels!

I have a Huacaya mom that came from two suri's. She is black & her first cria came out with the strangest fiber. It was straight & extremely soft. The cria was also black. She just didn't seem to have "normal" Huacaya fiber nor Suri fiber. But I have people who LOVE her fiber (She did eventually grow fiber that look more like Huacaya) and feel it is as soft as silk.

I just realized that you said it seemed to be twisting at the skin. Suri fiber twists from the tip back, not from the skin out.

Well, I have a cria whose dam's dam is huacaya from suri. When this cria was born, it looked like she was going to have some nice crimp, but now that she's two months old, her fleece is very straight, it drapes and flows when she runs, and some of it looks like it's starting to twist at the skin.
I know, suri from huacaya? Highly unlikely! But this fleece doesn't look like even "poor" huacaya...

Heather, are you looking for anything in particular? Suri fleeces vary just like huacaya fleeces do, so different crias might have vastly different fleece styles.

I have a question for you suri breeders. Does anyone have pics of young suri crias' fleeces that you could either email to me or post a link, or post to the group pics area? Like one or two month old crias?
