It’s tough to get knitters, spinners & crocheters to agree on anything-- let’s face it, we’re an opinionated bunch of people! Fiber lovers of all stripes get into heated arguments at our Idaho storefront: whose craft is easiest for beginners, which stitch is best for a breathtaking scarf, whether metal or wooden tools are better & under what conditions... But underneath all the lighthearted (or occasionally not-so-lighthearted!) squabbling, there’s one thing that draws us all together once more: an appreciation for fiber of true quality & value. That’s why we at Alpaca Direct are so passionate about crafting with alpaca yarn & rovings!

It’s nearly impossible to convince someone how soft & elegant alpaca is until they feel it for themselves. We make a point of displaying an inviting, loosely-plied alpaca yarn right at the entrance to our booth whenever we attend expos & trade shows. Without fail, passers-by will casually brush against it, stop dead in their tracks, and hurry in to find more! It’s a fiber with an unbelievably soft hand, unparalleled insulation & a luxurious natural drape-- and, best yet, it’s affordable when you buy direct!

Any weight...
Alpaca can be spun to almost any yarn weight, from drool-inducing chunkies down to lace yarns so fine that they double as embroidery wool!
