This beautiful Suri alpaca fiber was grown by Alvira and features a silky, naturally lustrous fleece with exceptional softness, a smooth handle, and beautiful drape. It is an excellent choice for lightweight yarns and luxurious next-to-skin projects.

The staple length is approximately 5 inches.

The product photos include the fleece before and after washing so you can see the natural lock structure as well as the prepared fiber you'll receive.

Carefully skirted and pre-washed, this fiber is ready to card, spin, or blend. Suri alpaca is prized for producing silky yarn with natural sheen, strength, and graceful drape. Even a small percentage added to a blend enhances luster and durability, while spinning directly from the lock creates beautifully textured yarn with wonderful movement.

Our Farm

This fiber was grown at Alpaca Meadows in Mansfield, Ohio. Each fleece is carefully skirted, washed, and prepared in small batches to preserve its natural beauty and quality. Thank you for supporting our alpacas and our small family farm.
