100% U.S. alpaca textile company using only U.S. alpaca fiber.
Vertically integrated: personally selects fiber from U.S. alpaca farms, spins the fiber, has it knitted or woven in the U.S., and cuts and sews it in the U.S.
Alpaca fiber is difficult to spin; U.S. alpaca fiber is even more challenging.
U.S. alpaca fiber is different from South American fiber, which comes contaminated with wool.
Developed a system to use a worsted spinning system to spin 1 inch to 8 inches and longer alpaca fiber.
Produces 24 to 32 worsted count and 2/24 to 2/32 two ply.
Future plans include producing 3 ply yarns for the wall carpet market.
Uses all micron sizes of fiber: fine micron for lightweight knits, jersey for golf shirts, knitted dresses, and coarse fiber for all-natural wall-to-wall alpaca carpeting.
