Alpaca can be dyed with acid dyes, but acrylic cannot be dyed with the kind of dye that is suitable for use at home. The result would be blue acrylic fibers mixed in with black alpaca fibers. The mixture could look quite nice, though.

See "Dyeing with Acid Dyes" and "Dyeing Acrylic with Basic Dye".
