These are truly luxury yarns! |

Llama and Alpaca fiber is unique in several ways. Most noticeable, it does not contain lanolin that is found in sheep wool. The fleeces do not need to be scoured to become clean. Many people who have allergies to sheep wool are able to wear camelid fiber comfortably. Fleeces are found in a beautiful array of natural colors that can also be over dyed for something more colorful. Our hand dyed yarn is truly one of a kind! With proper skirting and preparation, camelid fiber is very soft and a joy to work with. The Midwest Fiber Company offers yarn that is 100% alpaca or a blend of alpaca and llama. All the fleeces used for our yarn have been grown by Midwestern camelid farmers. We also use fiber mills in the USA to process the fleeces into yarn. The yarn on this page is machine
spun, packaged as 2 oz. skeins (approx. 105 yards). Contact us directly for a current yarn sample card. |
