SALE! ALPACA FIBRE ~ Chestnut brown

€7,10 Save €-7,10

This super soft, long-haired Alpaca top, carded into a band, is great for spinning and felting. All hairy fibres have been removed and only the very soft fibres remain.

Alpaca fibre is wonderful for felting projects, because it is so soft with less of the “tickle factor” of sheep wool. The fibres are hollow, which gives the yarn an amazingly warm and light finish. Alpaca fibre is also preferred by people, who react allergic to sheep wool, due to no Lanolin present. That, however, isn't always the case and some, especially people with dry skin, will still react to alpaca or any animal fibre.

 Staple length: approx. 10-14cm

Superfine Alpaca Fibre

Natural Colour Collection

Beautifully soft alpaca fibre prepared as a smooth combed top, available in eight natural alpaca shades.

This superfine alpaca fibre from Peru has been carefully combed so that only the softest fibres remain. Coarser guard hairs have been removed, leaving a luxurious fibre that drafts smoothly and produces wonderfully soft yarn.

Alpaca fibre is known for its lightweight warmth and silky softness. The fibres are naturally hollow, which gives spun yarn excellent insulation while remaining light and comfortable.

The fibre is offered in a range of natural alpaca colours, from light cream and fawn tones to warm browns and deep natural shades.

• exceptionally soft handle
