An award winning champion!
View my new offerings at http://www.etsy.com/shop/lianao?order=custom.
I have begun offering fiber to spinners from my local alpaca ranches that supply me with unwashed, uncarded or uncombed, dirty fleeces fresh off their livestock to my studio. I then skirt, wash, comb and re comb until the batt is free from almost all vegetation and short fibers. This is what I offer to my customers at a low price, along with the photo of the alpaca it was collected from.
You can get updates from twitter at http://twitter.com/LIANAOB. Then shop at my Etsy shop to buy your own spinning fibers lovingly prepared for a heavenly spinning experience.
This fiber spins up so softly and produces a strong yet fluffy yarn that is perfect for baby blankets, shawls and scarves that you wish to be light and fluffy but warm. The advantage of alpaca is that few people that have trouble with alpaca the way they will with wool, which tends to be itchy. You will not have trouble with the alpaca because these fibers lay smooth and do not itch the way wool does.
I have Cream, Black, Lt. Brown, Med. Brown and Rich, Deep Brown Alpaca colors available.
They are all from my local alpaca ranches and there is both the Huacaya and Suri alpaca fibers available. In the photos above, the one on the left is the cream Huacaya alpaca combed with a small ball of finished single to show what can be done with this wonderful fiber.
For those projects that require wool, I also have Jacob Fleece available in the raw or processed.
