Why Alpaca yarn?
Alpacas are the most sustainable lifestock. They are efficient in their feeding, they have soft feet, easy on the soil. They live long and are excellent breeders. They are shorn once a year (no we don't kill them!) They have very little lanolin, so no harsh scouring needed
The yarn is natural, sustainable, warm and strong, long lasting and when not needed any longer biodegradable.
Most of our yarns, where ever possible, are grown and processed in New Zealand.
Please note: All weights and lengths are approximate, as accurate as my kitchen scales allow.
While I take all care to exhaust dyes and rinse well some minor bleeding may occur, specially in the darker colours.
Specials
Sometimes we have one or two skeins left in a particular colour that we like to sell before introducing a new batch. Nothing wrong with them, just very limited quantity.
