Alpacas

Alpacas

May 23, 2017 by Poppy Creek Farmer Mama

The huacaya alpacas on the farm come in every natural color under the sun, including white, ivory, tan, mid brown, chocolate brown, and true black. In suri, I have three whites.

While alpaca fiber does take dye well, there’s something about a natural blend of the colors that I just love.

Alpaca blends well with wool, to give it some ‘memory’, with silk for a cannot-be-matched softness, or it is lovely to spin on its own.

Occasionally there will be cria fleeces available, or a two-year fleece that I have allowed to grow for extra staple length. If you are interested in one of these, let me know.

A Boy Named Sue, thus named for his pretty face! He’s too cute to be a boy!
