Description:
This handspun alpaca yarn is soft and light gray. It has never been dyed, and features only the natural variations inherent to this alpaca's fleece. The fiber for this yarn comes from a small farm based out of Pennsylvania, where the fiber was also milled into roving before being shipped directly to Massachusetts where I spun it by hand with my Dreaming Robots Electric Eel Wheel Nano. The yarn has a buttery alpaca texture. It's two-ply and approximately a DK weight, with some variation in thickness throughout. Enjoy!

Care:
The yarn is ready-to-use. When it's time to clean, hand-wash it in cold water (using a wool conditioner) and lay flat to dry.

Length estimation:
The length of the skein was estimated by weighing a small length of yarn, finding the centimeter-to-gram ratio, and applying this to the entire weight of the skein. If you'd like a more exact measurement, just let me know! I'd be more than happy to measure the exact length with greater precision.

Packaging:
The yarn will arrive in either a recycled gray mailer or a paper mailer. If it’s in a paper mailer, then the outer packaging (i.e., mailer, label, tape) is entirely recyclable and compostable. If it's in a gray mailer, the outer packaging must be thrown away. In either case, the inner packaging will be entirely compostable.

Additional info:
If you have any questions about gauge on this yarn, just send a message! I'm more than happy to knit or crochet up a sample using a needle or hook size of your choice.

Please note the exact texture color will vary from the photos, which are intended to give a sense of general character and color palette. Also, please be aware that due to the nature of handmade goods, the yarns could have slight imperfections. If you have any questions or if would like exact dimensions or more photos, please let me know!
