Suri: The fiber of a Suri Llama should have a natural luster and hang and drape over the llamas body, forming a natural part along the spine. The fibers are grouped into a very distinctive and well defined lock structure, which is indicated by the many individual separate locks of fiber formed at the skin and carrying out to the ends of each lock.

Silky: Then fiber exhibits a very soft or silky handle, may exhibit some wave or crinkle but not crimp, and may exhibit some loft and luster. Guard hair is nearly indiscernible and coverage may vary from light to heavy.

Classic: Minimal body wool with smooth head and legs. Obvious guard hair and mane.

Light: Minimal body wool, short neck wool with smooth legs.

Medium: Moderate to long body wool, minimal to moderate neck wool, smooth to moderate leg wool.
