La production de laine de vigogne s’est arrêtée dans les années 1970, car l'espèce était menacée d’extinction. Elle a repris en 2002, mais son commerce est très encadré et très réglementé. L'animal ne peut être tondu que tous les 3 ans et donne 150 g de fibre par tonte. 3, record 1, French, - laine%20de%20vigogne
