These friendly and adorable creatures are the producers of the most exquisite fiber that is on the market today. Cultivated by the Incas for thousands of years, the Alpaca is prized for its long stapled fibers that come in over 22 different shades of color, ranging in the whites, browns, grays, and blacks. The popularity of Alpaca farming has seen a great surge in the past few decades throughout the US and our Eastern Shore friends have taken to a new level.

Come in to learn more about these amazing animals from South America and their fiber. Roving, yarn and finished goods from our featured farms will be on display and for sale.
