Our farm specializes in one of a kind carded fiber batts for spinners & felters. I wash, pick, blend & card our alpaca fiber here in our home. i love felting! I can feel the fiber come alive in my hands. No counting stitches. I'm a much more right brain person. My wearable art has sold right off the runway! Also this year we have mill spun alpaca gloves, hats, sox, mittens & the famous ALPACA SOX! Alpaca different from wool? Who knew? There are 3 ways in which alpaca fiber is different from wool. Alpaca has hollow fibers=better insulation. Wool does not. Alpaca has no scales=no itching. Wool has scales. Alpaca has no lanolin=no allergy. Wool has lanolin. Learn something new everyday! We are Ron & Sharon Konkoly.

Our fiber is sent to a co-op in New England & in return we're able to buy American made products to sell on our farm. You can choose between survival sox, over the calf outdoor sox, diabetic sox. Cable knit hats & scarves. Alpaca fiber is different from wool. Alpaca fiber is hollow which provides more insulation. It has no scales, therefore it is not itchy. It has no lanolin which some people are allergic to. My hand made fiber batts are ready for spinning or felting. A great gift!
Come by & see our newest additions. We have a wide selection of alpaca fiber to choose from. It can be purchased raw, washed & carded. I can personally hand dye light colored fiber to your order, You might want to give red fiber to a spinner who would love to spin & knit a red sweater but would never buy herself alpaca fiber. We can talk about FELTED SCARVES. Each one I make is unique. They can be made to your specifications as to color, texture & size. You can even visit the farm to see the alpaca you would like fleece from. Alpaca fiber is a sustanable resourse. We do not kill our animals to get the fiber. And to top it off these items are grown & made in the U.S.A. right here in Ohio!
