Rovings in the Store

At long last, we have roving -- actually carded batts -- available in The Alpaca Merchant our on-line store. I think about half the colors and 3/4 of the volume are presently listed and we'll be adding more over time. We have a few fleeces still to list and the way time flies, 2005 shearing is almost upon us.

For dramatic color, I suggest our Tiger Eye HeatherSelect™ Blend. This is a black base with tan highlights and provides very dramatic color when spun. This blend draws visitors like a magnet at fiber festivals and craft shows.

For pure, luxurious, softness, I suggest our Chocolate Stripe HeatherSelect™ Blend. This fiber is from two alpacas that produce consistently soft fiber year after year and it is wonderfully soft. The dark brown highlights are dramatic in the lighter background, but the strength of this blend is softness. I dream of the day our breeding program is so successful that all of our alpacas produce fiber this soft.
