This Suri alpaca fiber was grown by Luminous, who was 15 years old at the time of shearing. As a mature fleece, her fiber offers beautiful luster, strength, and character — ideal for projects that benefit from structure and shine.

The staple length is approximately 5 inches.

Carefully skirted and prewashed, this fiber is ready to card, spin, or blend. Suri alpaca is known for producing silky yarn with natural sheen and graceful drape. Even a small percentage added to a blend enhances luster and durability.Suri locks may also be spun directly for textured yarns with wonderful movement.
