You probably have Suri Alpaca, this resembles silk or fine long kid mohair more than it does the Huacaya Alpaca that is more typical. If you are blending it, the fiber lengths need to be approximately the same. It may mean that you need to cut the Suri down to the Corrie length or save the Suri for a more silk-like project and get regular Alpaca for blending. You can try carding a sample of the Suri and Corrie by hand and see how it behaves. If it noils up, then you probably don't want to send it out.
