Here at Dutch Hollow we raise Huacaya Alpacas breeding for the best quality fleece possible. We are looking for a low micron count, high crimp frequency, nice luster and uniformity. We strive to increase the density of the fleece with these properties to insure a higher yield per alpaca.
In 2009 we will be coating our alpacas to keep vegetable mater out of the fleeces and to protect them from the sun!
Why buy Alpaca?
- 3x warmer than most sheep wool
- Finer than most sheep wool making it less itchy
- Higher tensile strength making it stronger than wool
- More abrasion resistant than Merino wool
- Hypo-allergenic! No oil, grease or smell
- Does not retain water and is resistant to solar radiation
- Natural luster makes it visually appealing
- Naturally comes in 22 different colors
- When dyed it does not lose its luster
- Easily blends with other natural and synthetic fibers
- Lastly - It's local and 100% American
