Home About us About alpacas Our herd The Soft Corner

  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 a few other alpaca products including teddy bears and throws from Peru and socks made by Dahlgren and Creekwater.  Email us at saf@sover.net or call Jamie at 603-756-3410 to order.  Thank you for your interest!  Shipping at cost.

 

teddy bears ~ hand crafted in Peru  
 

yarns ~

Most of our alpacas are white; some are shades of fawn and brown.  Therefore our yarns are white or natural heathers ranging from light honey color to dark taupe.  Availability of color varies, but we try to keep light worsted weight, sport weight and fingering weight on hand.  The fingering is made from cria fleece, making it especially soft.  We also have sport weight sock yarn, which has 20% nylon added to the alpaca.
