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.
Hello there stranger. Is it me or are a lot of the FAF things today looking like candy or ice cream. *licks lips* Mmmmmm

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.
