Alpaca Surprise is mostly alpaca but may also contain a
delightful blend of llama, merino, silk, bamboo and perhaps a little bit
of cashmere. The yarn is formed from spinning remnants so there is not a
consistent color, texture or WPI throughout the skein. A quarter has
been placed in the pictures so you have an idea of the size for the
majority of the skein. Each skein is unique and 250 yards in length.
All yarn is made at a Georgia family owned mill and only American
alpacas and other American fiber animal fleece is used. As you work
with this yarn you can enjoy thinking about all the wonderful fiber
animals that have been raised to produce this interesting conglomeration
right here in the United States!
If you are looking for a yarn that is interesting, has great
personality and works up into a beautiful surprise then this is definitely
your yarn! Some knots and slubs are possible. Conversely, if you are
looking for a yarn that is very consistent in color, size and texture then
this yarn is probably not for you. This is a very soft yarn. We
recommend hand-washing this fiber before or after working your finished
object. This yarn MAY felt so do not agitate while washing if you are not
purposely felting.
Yarn is shipped from a smoke free (but not pet free) home. We have one
short-haired dog and one short-haired cat. Enjoy and feel free to send in
pictures of finished objects made with this yarn! We love to see our
customers creative talents at work. Here is a picture of a dropped stitch
scarf that I made using one of the alpaca surprise skeins.
