CreativeFiberStudio on Etsy sells beautiful alpaca products out of Serenity Meadows Farm in Rougemont, North Carolina. Because I started spinning last year, and was interested in spinning with alpaca, I reached out to see if I could purchase the fiber directly. I was pleased to discover I could!
I was able to go to the farm to pick up a pound of black alpaca fleece recently. I got to meet a few of the alpacas, and even feed them!

I can’t wait to start spinning this fiber, though I have some Corriedale wool I want to finish spinning first.
They also have Bluefaced Leicester sheep and angora goats (which, a bit confusingly to me, produce mohair) on the farm, so I know I will be back for more fiber over time!
