Super-Soft Baby AlpacaAt Shepherd Textiles we know alpaca, because weve raised them ourselves. We wanted to bring you the finest alpaca available, so we sourced this beautiful roving direct from Peru. Baby-grade alpaca is as soft as a cloud, and perfect for projects that will be worn against the skin. |
A Joy to SpinWith an average staple length of 5" or 6", our baby alpaca is a joy to spin. The roving opens up easily and holds up to tension while drafting. Alpaca is an ideal fiber for beginners and for experienced hand-spinners alike. |
Gorgeous Natural ColorsAlpaca fleeces come in more than 16 natural shades, from true black to fawn to pure white. Our baby alpaca is offered in a variety of gorgeous natural colors, and the white roving will also take color beautifully using your favorite acid dyes or natural dyes. |
Tested for QualityWe have our baby alpaca independently analyzed by a fiber laboratory in California to confirm the average fiber diameter (AFD) is no greater than 20 microns. That makes it softer than most merino. We use the same lab that tests the fiber from show alpacas across the USA. |
Mill Direct
Imported directly from Perus most advanced alpaca fiber mill, where top-grade fleeces from Andean herds are sent for processing.
Spin Soft, Warm Yarns
Baby alpaca has a soft hand that makes it perfect for against-the-skin wear. Create amazing yarns for hats, mittens, scarves, and blankets.
Now Available in a Larger 8 oz. (1/2 lb.) Size!
Our super-soft baby alpaca is now available in two sizes. The 2 ounce package is perfect for a small skein of yarn or felting project. The larger 8 ounce package is enough to spin multiple skeins. The more you buy, the more you save!
