Alpaca Washed Fleece: "Modac"
Details
Name: Modac
Breed: Huacaya Alpaca
Color: Red-brown
Origin: Sunny Alpacas (Blaine, WA)
Staple Length: 4" stretched
VM: low/medium
Deliciously soft with no guard hairs and would be amazing blended with wool to add some elasticity and structure to your yarn! There is some VM, but it falls out during picking.
Breed Note: Native to the Andes of South America, alpacas have been raised for their fiber for over 5000 years! Called "The Fiber of the Gods", alpaca is amazingly soft and lends a beautiful drape to spun fiber.
How is the fiber processed?
MIA/ FIBER features the best parts of the fleece so they are ready for their next adventure with fellow makers! The fleece is skirted (short and dirty pieces along with debris are removed), then washed with Unicorn products to remove the lanolin and dirt. Some vegetable (VM) matter will remain and the level is noted in each listing.
