Joys of Knitting Alpaca

If you are a knitter, or know someone who is, alpaca yarns are a blessing to use. Most knitters we have met had not tried alpaca as a knitting yarn. Once they did, they discovered the amazing characteristics or softness, strength and comfort.

Some now tell us then can't touch wool anymore because as one knitter put it, "'cause it feels like sandpaper to me now!".

If you are new to knitting, there are a great number of sources on the web to help you. One we really like is from About.com. About.com talks "about" all kinds of things from politics to pastries. The knitting page is excellent and has ideas for the new and experienced knitter. Check it out at http://knitting.about.com.

See our yarns listed at: http://purelyalpaca.com/index.php/cPath/35
We have a large number of completely unique yarns which are not on the site due to their limited numbers. Contact us and we will describe them to you but basically we have hand spun, hand dyed, mixes (silk, etc) and experimental products. We also carry raw fiber, processed rovings (for spinners) and batts (for quilting). We're expecting to have processed alpaca felt cloth as well, great for felt hats and other unique creations.

Check back with us over the next month to see new yarns which will get put on the site, or contact us (yarn@purelyalpaca.com)and get on the yarns notification list.
