      Hello good
      In Zavala we work with alpaca sheets of 2000x670 millimeters with a thickness of 0.4. To consult the material, you can send an email to sales@zavala.es with all your contact information so we can give you a quote. Regarding the 4 millimeter rods, this is a material that we do not work with in alpaca, the closest thing we have is 3 millimeter alpaca thread that you can find on the web. The 4 millimeter rods that we work with are made of brass, copper and stainless steel.
      All the best
