    It's that time again - shearing time!

    And boy do we have a treat for all you creative souls.

    • This is the entire Blanket Prime Fiber weighing 3 pounds 15 oz.
    • 3" Staple length.
    • Our alpaca fiber is unprocessed and straight from the source.
    • We minimally skirt our fibers so you can experience the raw goodness and process how you like. We shake to get get out some of the dust.
    • Rocket's Medium Rose Grey shade is a fan favorite, and can be left as is for natural beauty or dyed for added dimension. 
    • Wonderful for hand spinners, felting, roving, batts and more.
    • Our versatile fleece is ethically sourced from our well-loved alpacas, reflecting our sustainable farming practices.

    Hurry - we only shear Rocket once a year, so quantities are limited!

    Before we wash our fiber, we blow out the dust! How much dust? This video shows how the dust and second cuts we miss during skirting come right out. Alpacas love to roll in a dust bath. Blowing out the fiber after skirting reduces the amount of water we use. It's that much less dust in our products and saves wear and tear on our equipment.

    How to care for your alpaca fiber products

    Alpaca Fiber Care Tips

    • Alpaca fiber is naturally antimicrobial, so it doesn't need to be washed often.
    • When it does need a good clean, wash on a gentle cool cycle (preferable a wool cycle if your machine has one) with a mild detergent, or hand wash.
    • For best results, turn your garment inside out before washing.
    • The best way to dry your alpaca garment is just to lay it out on a flat surface to air-dry.
