Yarns with Alpaca Fiber
While yarns made with 100% alpaca fiber are luxuriously soft and warm, yarns made with a blend of fibers, including alpaca, are also wonderful and – in some cases – better suited for specific projects. Other fibers can add elasticity, durability, luster, etc. It’s important to choose a yarn that will work best for your finished product.
We have worked with other fiber farms over the years to provide alpaca for their blended yarns. I recently received a skein from Jessica at Dillner Hillside Farm here in Vermont. Jessica raises angora goats (mohair fiber) and sells lovely fiber products. I’m looking forward to working with this yarn to knit something for myself.
