Made using the blanket fleece of our lovely animal, Lexington who is a multiple blue-ribbon winner with baby alpaca fleece, and who makes the softest yarn!

Island Alpaca yarn is one of the most precious yarns you will find. Using the Island Alpaca harvest from our spring shearing, this yarn is spun at a local New England mill using only environmentally safe products.

This mini-mill uses a state-of-the-art fiber washer and fiber separator which is used to eliminate vegetation, guard hair and much shorter "second-cuts" if there are any. This process increases dramatically, the "comfort-factor", optimizing the overall quality of the yarn, leave you with softest end-product available.

Treat yourself or a friend to this wonderful, "home grown" yarn. All skeins are labeled with the name and a photograph of the alpacas that created this yarn. Hand-wash in cold water using a mild soap. Do not agitate or use chlorine bleach.
