Alpacas produce one of the world’s finest and most luxurious natural fibers.  It is clipped from the animal without causing it injury and is soft as cashmere and warmer, lighter and stronger than wool.  Alpaca fiber comes in more colors than any other fiber producing animal (approximately 22 basic colors with many variations and blends).  This cashmere-like fleece, once reserved for Incan royalty, is now enjoyed by spinners and weavers around the world.
