FIBER AND ROVING
Alpaca fleece was once called the fiber of the gods by the ancient Inca. Pound for pound it is four times warmer than sheep’s wool, without the “itch” commonly associated with wool. All our alpaca roving is from Arizona alpacas and processed right here on the farm. We divide it into four grades: “Royal Baby” (20 microns or less): This is the finest and softest fleece. At this level it is commonly compared to cashmere. “Baby” (20-22.9 microns): Luxuriously soft fleece. Excellent for use in finished garments meant to be worn next to the skin. “Superfine” (23-27 microns): A good all around fiber. Not quite as soft as baby, but still fairly comfortable for all but those with the most sensitive skin. “Adult” (greater than 27 microns): A strong, inexpensive fiber good for decorative Items that will get a lot of wear and tear such as rugs. |
