There are two alpaca fleece types, huacaya and suri. Huacaya, a crimpy fleece, is the most common.. The suri has a long fleece with non crimped locks and is known for its lustre and drape and accounts for only 5% of the world’s alpaca population. It is more difficult to spin because of its very low scale height but that gives it its lustre. and lovely drape.

These  yarns are made from natural white, natural black, natural fawn and natural brown suri fleeces

  1. C Dawber –

    I am happily knitting my way through one skein of each in a simple garter stitch shawl and it is a truly lovely experience! SO soft and silky, the yarn is easy to handle and drapes beautifully, it is very mindful. Lots of ‘bounce’ and It also smells gorgeous!
