Alpaca Neopolitan Hand Spun Yarn

Alpaca Farmgirl Neopolitan Hand Spun Yarn

This is my favorite yarn! It was inspired by some yummy yarn that the incomparable Spazzyarn spun out of merino that was very similar. I fell in love with her hand spun merino Neopolitan and bought it last year.

I had not picked up knitting needles since I was in 7th grade. But her yarn inspired me to get fiber-y again. That and the fields of alpacas in the backyard…

I have to admit though, when I got the merino in my hands I was shocked at how un-soft it was. Let’s face it – I only knew alpaca. That was all I ever felt. And alpaca is just SO soft. I’m spoiled. So I said, “Spazzy, my love…let’s do this in alpaca…” and a project was born.

(above) The merino Neopolitan knitted up in a scarf for my baby.

Here is what the lovely Spazzy has spun. You can purchase it in the Alpaca Farmgirl Shop.

I have tons of it so let me know if you would like multiple skeins and I can make you a special listing. (katy (at) alpacafarmgirl (dot) com). See more of Spazzy’s Handspun at her Etsy Shop.

Yummy! I’m glad you had the fiber dyed in alpaca and the scarf is adorable. I have a lot of merino that is lovely but you are right, nothing is as wonderful as alpaca and I’m not biased or anything I love the Neapolitan colors and there so many fun ways you can spin of the blends. Glad to see you back at Fiber Arts Friday, don’t be a stranger <3

Now off to check out your updated Etsy shop along with Spazzyyarn's.

Thanks for sharing.
