Sari Silk Yarn
LondonDairy Alpaca Ranch sells yarn that comes directly from our own alpacas. Some of our yarn is 100% alpaca fiber and some is blended with 15%-20% bamboo to add streaks of color!
Alpacas are shorn one time per year using a professional shearing team using methods and equipment that do not hurt the alpacas. The fiber is then sorted and skirted. The best part is then sent to an excellent mill where it is washed, picked, carded, and spun into skeins. This process creates yarn that is beautiful and incredibly warm, breathable, soft, and durable.
