Pure Alpaca Fleeces
We own over 200 alpacas and have plenty of alpaca fiber for sale. We have been in the business for over 10 years and have built a great fiber herd. Our goal has always been to produce amazing fiber. Before shearing our alpacas we blow them with a leaf blower... sounds funny I know, but we are able to clean out the majority of the dust, vegetable matter and other stuff that gets caught up in the fiber before they are even shorn. After the fleece is shorn we bag each blanket, legs, and neck fiber separately and then put all the fiber through our tumbler which removes even more of the stuff. So our fiber is high quality and VERY clean. If you are interested in having a sample of our fiber and a price list please let me know!
