Announcement
Welcome to my shop. I love wonderful, soft alpaca fiber, and I hope you will too. I am a long time obsessive knitter, and now spinner, whose love of fiber led to the establishment of Upstream Alpacas in 1998. I would love to share some alpaca with you!
Items for sale have been made by me in my home. We are non-smoking, but animal friendly (obviously, since we raise alpacas). We also have cats who love alpaca fiber, but I try to keep them away from the sale items.
I try my best to accurately capture the color of the items in natural light, but computer screens vary, so some variation in color may occur.
If you have interest in larger quantities or a special order item, please convo me. We have alpacas for sale, too. You can see our alpacas at http://www.upstreamalpacas.com.

5 out of 5 starsMy first time spinning alpaca, and I choose a blend with another notoriously slippery fiber! This gorgeous braid showed me I didn’t need to fear, because spinning it has been a colorful breeze!

5 out of 5 starsThis roving is wonderful, it practically spins itself. It was very easy to pull apart to make spin-able sections. The dying was very consistent between batches. It is very soft. I got 140 yards of single strand from a 4 ounce braid. It definitely has met my expectations and was shipped very quickly as well.
