About alpaca fleece:
The blanket (back and sides) is the prime fiber area.
The neck and upper legs (seconds) produce fiber that
is usually shorter and less consistent - but still
spinnable.
Baby neck is usually as good as the blanket.
Our fleeces are raw (unwashed), clean, and skirted,
unless otherwise noted.
Huacaya fleece is similar to wool, with possibly a little
less elasticity.
Suri fleece is straight and silky, highly lustrous, with
no elasticity but a beautiful drape.
Alpaca fleece contains virtually no grease; you will
probably lose less than 5% of the weight after
washing (so it's not as expensive compared to
sheep's wool as it seems).
Prices do not include postage.

For all kinds of alpaca products, please
visit the Alpaca Fiber Co-op of North
America.
For colorful yarn and roving, visit Royal
Fiber Spinnery.
"Royal Fiber Spinnery spins on a
semi-worsted system because most of our
yarns are spun for the hand-knitting market.
Most imported yarn is spun on worsted
systems because their largest market is
Europe, where it is used for fabric.
Most alpaca yarn comes from South America.
For more than 100 years, they have paid
farmers by weight without regard for fineness.
U.S. growers work to produce both weight
and fineness.
Also, when our label says 100% alpaca, that
is just what it means. The regulations in
South America may allow up to 30% other
fiber in "100% alpaca."
And of course, when you buy North American
yarn (from either RFS or the Alpaca Fiber
Co-op of North America), you are supporting
U.S. agriculture."
