Shearing
We hand shear our alpacas. Care is taken to protect the alpaca from injury and preserve the fleece. Each fleece is skirted after shearing. Shearing alpacas from outside of our herd can be arranged.
Fleece
We have a variety of natural colored fleece available for sale. These include:
- White, which has been a fine fiber with crimping
- Variegated gray that has shades of black mixed with silver gray
- Dark brown, which tends to go to a slightly harsher fiber
- Beige, ranging from a very pale to a rich dark color
Fleece is available by the ounce and by the pound.
Yarn
We have a limited amount of hand spun yarn from alpaca fiber. Custom hand spinning is available.
Pricing
There are many variables in pricing our shearing, fleece, and yarn.
- For shearing, the number of animals you have to shear, amount of vegetation in their coat, and disposition of the animal are taken into consideration. We charge a price per head plus mileage.
- Fleece price is determined by quality of the fleece. Those fleeces that are finer with more crimping and little vegetation are priced higher. Consideration is given to quantity. Special pricing is available for a full fleece.
- Fleece is sold unwashed. Additional cost for washed fleece.
- Yarn is truly hand spun, so expect some unevenness.
We will be happy to quote you a price range over the phone or by email. We invite your inquiries.
