One of three camelid blends in this collection, this Shetland + Alpaca blend combines the versatility of a single-coated Shetland fleece with the softness of alpaca. The resulting fiber is moderately downy and soft, with a bit of texture. We think it's best suited for long-draw or other woolen prep, but its versatility will make for a yarn with character no matter how you choose to spin it!
