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.

 

 

 RAW FIBER: straight from the alpaca to you.

SOCKS: We pooled our fleece with two other Arizona farms and sent it off to a mill in Michigan so these socks are 100% made in the U.S.A.! (we’re doing our part to help the economy)
All styles are 70% alpaca, 30% nylon making these socks warm, durable and easy to care for. Machine wash, air dry.

CREW SOCK AND QUARTER CREW SOCKS

Your feet will thank you at the end of the day when you have them wrapped in alpaca. These light versatile socks will keep your feet warm in the winter and help wick sweat away in the summer. Crew socks  reach to mid calf, while the quarter crew fold down to be ankle socks. By far our most popular style.

Alpaca rugs alpaca and jute, approximately 3’ x 5’,  hand woven (country of origin: USA)
These unique rugs are hand loomed in west Texas by experienced weavers. The alpaca fiber is spun around a jute core, which gives the rug years of durability and also has the advantage of being reversible. Since the fiber has its natural color, it resists fading and wear and also provides a certain amount of sound proofing. The fleece is provided by all Arizona alpacas, as we worked on this project in conjunction with two other farms.
To care for your rug the mill recommends you vacuum your rug with a smooth surface attachment frequently. There will be slight loss of fiber each time, but so minimal as to be unnoticeable. Spot clean with warm water and mild soap or Resolve. The entire surface may be shampooed with a Woolite rug cleaner. For your safety, a quality foam under pad is recommended.
