Raw Fiber Clearance Sale
October 2011
I’d like to introduce our farm. We are Islandcrest Alpacas from Camano Island, WA, where we raise a small group of 30 huacaya alpacas. We have an abundance of fleece stored from the past 2-3 years of shearing the animals, and we need to make room.
These fleeces are bagged by animal, separated into blankets and #2’s. Each bag has only one year’s fleece from one animal. The bags are on average 2.5 to 3 lbs, some are over and some are a little less. We are asking $25/bag, which is a very good deal, as some farms are asking $2 to $4 per ounce. We just need to “clean house” as we are running out of room to store them. Selling them for a set bulk price works for us and we have found many spinners who think it is an affordable way to get some great fleece.
Many, many fine fleeces; award winning whites and browns, as well as superfine fawns. We do have a couple blacks, but the silver greys are gone, usually the first to go. Most have staple lengths of over 3 inches, some as long as 5.
I will ship to you if requested, purchaser must pay for the postage/ups. If you would like to come to the farm and take a look at the fleeces, and the animals they are from, we are more than happy to have visitors.
Please contact us at islandcrestalpacas@frontier.com or by phone 425-239-3690. I would be happy to answer any questions, as well as send sample photos. Thank you.
