Alpaca & Wool Yarn - Hand Dyed

2 FREE crochet hat patterns & 1 Celtic headband pattern with purchase!

This yarn will knit or crochet really nicely.  This is a Great Lakes Fibers custom designed and dyed, DK-weight, alpaca & wool yarn.

I sourced the alpaca from my own shorn animals and local farms and the wool was also sourced locally.  It was processed one state away.  We hand-dyed this beautiful yarn here in the GLF textile arts studio.   Made in the USA

A needle felter's dream wool

12 balls of gently varigated, carded, corriedale wool perfect for 3-D sculptures with natural texture and color.  They are in sliver (pronounced sly-ver) form, so it's loftier than our corriedale roving. It is layered strips of combed fiber.

Each ball is about ~1 yard long and ~ .3-.5 oz's.

(12) balls, ~6 ounces of felting wool total per collection
