The fiber is available in several forms, depending on the time of the year.  Right after shearing we have fresh from the animal, raw fiber. There is no lanolin in the fiber, so that a soak will remove any dirt that is in the fleece.  Then as processing begins, there is washed fiber, batts, roving, sliver and yarn from which to choose.  The huacaya alpaca and the llama fiber  (dehaired to leave only the soft downy llama undercoat), is carded into rovings, ready to spin, while the suri and the angora is combed into the more parallel sliver. All of the processing of our suri and angora fiber and the baby (cria) fiber, which is the finest fiber that the alpaca will produce,  is done here on our farm to our exacting standards.  It spins like a dream and the resulting yarn is a joy to work with.  Our adult huacaya fiber is currently being sent to a small, alpaca fiber mill to be processed into roving.  All of the fiber before it is turned into roving or sliver is carefully picked free of any vegetable matter, after all I may be the one spinning this fiber. 

The next step is to turn this marvelous roving and sliver into yarn for your creations.  The yarn like the fiber processing is done in small quantities in order to preserve the unique qualities produced by each animal.

Since the yarn is hand spun The Fuchsia Fleece can supply you with hand spun yarn in any weight that you have in mind from fine lace weight to Worsted.  So that whether you have a sweater, scarf, socks, mittens, jacket yardage or a wedding ring lace shawl in mind, we can produce the yarn or the product for you.  We are always delighted to work with you to get you the product that you desire.
