Alpaca Yarn
|

|
Alpaca
yarn direct from our own alpacas. We have many of the natural
colors that alpaca fleece comes in. 100% natural fibers. We shear
our alpacas once a year in a process that does not harm the alpacas
and send the best part to an excellent mini-mill where it is dehaired
and spun to our specifications, creating a yarn that is beautiful
in natural colors and exquisitely soft. Alpaca yarn is great for
hand or machine knitting, It's incredibly warm, breathable, extremely
soft and durable. Shop for alpaca
