Just
had a delivery of yarn from England ... it is new
and exciting and follows the "Green" trend that seems to
be everywhere right now. We've had bamboo, corn
and hemp and now they are moving right through the
farmyard. The
Suri
alpaca fleece is among the finest in all the world.
It's a luxurious fiber, similar to sheep's wool in many
ways, but lighter, silkier, warmer and lanolin-free,
making it nearly hypo-allergenic.
