Premium Washed & Carded Alpaca Fibre — Locally Sourced for Felters and Hand Spinners

Discover the difference that responsibly produced, properly prepared alpaca fibre makes in your work. Our washed and carded alpaca comes straight from local farms and is prepared specifically for artists who demand consistency, softness, and reliable performance.

Why choose our alpaca fibre?

• Exceptional softness and drape: Alpaca’s natural fineness creates a luxuriously soft batt that felters love for tactile projects and hand spinners value for next-to-skin garments.

• Outstanding loft and warmth: Hollow fibers give excellent insulation without weight, producing airy batts for wet and needle felting and light, warm yarn when spun.

• Clean, ready-to-use preparation: Fibres are professionally washed to remove lanolin, dirt, and vegetable matter, then carded into uniform batts and rolags to save you prep time and ensure even felting and spinning.

• Consistent quality: Working with local farms lets us control each step from fleece to fibre. Expect consistent staple length, even color, and minimal neps so your projects behave predictably.

• Locally sourced and traceable: Support small farms in your region. Every batch is traceable back to the farm, promoting ethical animal care and sustainable practices.

Each batt contains 50 grams of fibre.
