  The Soft Corner

We shear our alpacas in the spring and have the fleece milled into yarns, roving and felt, all of which are graded "fine" or softer.  We also offer cuddly soft teddy bears from Peru and incredibly comfortable socks made by Dahlgren, which have alpaca fiber in the heel and toe.  Email us at saf@sover.net or call Jamie at 603-756-3410 to order.  Thank you for your interest!  Shipping at cost.

We now have some beautiful light brown heather yarns and roving, pictures to be added soon...
