Fiber

The fiber of these fine animals is the life-blood of the Alpaca Industry. AOBA (The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association) states that:

"Alpacas produce one of the world's finest and most luxurious natural fibers. It is clipped from the animal without causing it injury. Soft as cashmere and warmer, lighter and stronger than wool, it comes in more colors than any other fiber producing animal (approximately 22 basic colors with many variations and blends).This cashmere-like fleece, once reserved for Incan royalty, is now enjoyed by spinners and weavers around the world."

For more information about alpaca fiber you can visit AOBA or just give us a call.

All of our animals are shorn in April or May of each year; we typically have raw fiber available for sale at that time. In addition to raw fiber we have yarn and skeins available as well. If you are interested in fiber purchases please contact us early and we'll get you on our call list.
