Peruvian Baby Alpaca (20 μm)

from $14.99

Alpaca is one of our favorite fibers to work with. Good alpaca is amazingly soft, and the hollow fibers make it warmer than wool. It is also more durable under tension than merino. That makes it especially enjoyable to spin, and the yarns hold up well during weaving. We wanted to source the very finest alpaca available, so we imported this beautiful baby alpaca roving directly from the mill in Arequipa. “Baby” refers to the fineness of the fibers, not the age of the alpaca, and baby-grade alpaca is as soft as a cloud. Shepherd Textiles Peruvian Baby Alpaca has been independently analyzed by a fiber laboratory in California to confirm that it has a fiber diameter of 20 microns. This roving is wonderfully light and fluffy, and it comes in gorgeous natural tones. This is luxury alpaca fiber from the finest Andean herds. It is unavailable elsewhere in the United States. We hope you enjoy working with it as much as we do.
