Alpaca Fibre

A wonderful selection of natural coloured alpaca fibres, both suri and huacaya.

Alpaca fleece is available in raw form, washed, hand-carded cloud, roving, top, in blends, bats and rollags, and yarn, in lace weight, sock weight, and DK yarn.

*Raw fibre has not been washed or processed, and is directly from one of the Huacaya Alpacas on our farm. It has however been tumbled and VM removed. This lovely Premium fibre is ready for you to create whatever beautiful item your imagination has in mind!

Due to the nature and free spirit of our animals – they just LOVE to roll around in the dust or grass – there will be bits of vegetable matter in the fibre which will come out with further processing.

*If washed, the fibre has been tumbled, VM (vegetable matter) removed, and prewashed meaning it has been soaked in soapy water and rinsed multiple times, removing the majority of the dust. Your final project should be washed again.

*Carded fibre has been hand-carded, and is ready for spinning, blending or felting or other fibre crafts.

Your order will be processed as soon as payment is confirmed. Washed fibres are allowed to dry naturally, so it may take a day or more before it will be dry enough to be processed into the final product. Spinning will also take a few days, depending on the size of your order, and the type of yarn.

Lighter colours can be readily dyed, thus offering a rainbow of colours for the fibre artist. Alpaca fibre can also be combined with other fine fibres like merino wool, cashmere, mohair, silk, and angora to achieve incredible blends.

Due to all monitors showing colours differently, the colours may appear slightly different than what you see on your screen. Should a colour not be in stock, we will replace it with a colour that will be the closest match to the colour ordered.

Please note, as this is a natural fibre, and every alpaca’s fibre differs, even in the same fleece, there may be slight variations. This could differ in the depth of the colour, to different coloured fibre strands.
