We have Alpaca Yarn

We have received our first shipment of yarn from our alpaca fiber and it is WONDERFUL. We are so pleased with how it turned out. The knitters we have shared it with have been very excited about it. We decided to do a mix of the dark animals for a rich medium brown yarn. The light animals where put together to form a warm beige. This yarn is perfect for dying if you are interested in working with home dying of your yarn. We are still waiting for mix that should produce a more caramel color. From that batch we will also have some cones for weaving.
I am also doing some hand spun yarn from some of the fiber which was made into roving. Learning to spin has been a wonderful experience and alpaca is a great fiber to work with.
