Alpaca Fiber - Hand Spun - Alpaca/Wool Novelty Yarn

    Prescott is rich with Alpaca Farms and spinning with the fiber creates rich and beautiful yarn. Visit one in your area and experience the magnificent animals yourself.

This Rowena Hand Spun is a novelty yarn created with one strand of clean uncombed alpaca fiber.   Then, plied the stand to a thin spun wool strand which is 20/2 in size.

While plying I held thrums of hand spun from my Scrap Caddy. These colorful pieces of wool were picked up randomly and what I ended up with is a alpaca/wool novelty yarn which I will use to knit a scarf for the fall show at Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery - "Sisterhood of Spinning".
