Putting Our Fiber To Work - Overview
Island Alpaca contributes half of our annual harvest to a local fiber cooperative that supports not only our farm but other alpaca farms as well. This cooperative prides itself on producing high-quality alpaca products and maximizing the value of raw alpaca fiber, allowing us to offer environmentally and socially conscious alpaca products to the market.
At Island Alpaca, we give regular fiber supplements and ground flax daily to our alpacas to promote overall good health and superior fleece quality. Our alpaca fleece is so fine that last year a large portion of our “seconds” (neck fiber) was re-sorted into the “prime” (blanket) category. Textile lab results indicate that our alpacas produce some of the finest fiber in the country.
During Island Alpaca’s annual shearing, we carefully skirt and hand-sort the fleeces to produce a range of products using all grades of fiber. At the cooperative, the fiber is sorted by color and grade, then hand-baled, scoured, spun, and finally machine-knit or woven into beautiful, high-quality alpaca products. Once these products arrive at our Martha’s Vineyard farm, they receive the Island Alpaca label and become available for you to enjoy.
We hope you love these exceptional alpaca products created in partnership with our local fiber cooperative.
