Alpaca Fiber

The value of alpaca fleece is the economic basis of the future market for alpacas. An alpaca breeder with a small herd on small acreage can expect to harvest his animals' fiber and sell their offspring profitably.

Most alpaca ranchers readily sell their fleece for $2 to $6 an ounce to local artisans. Each animal on average will produce five to eight pounds of fleece a year.

Sad Loss Today, 7/16/2011

Today we had to say goodbye to our first and oldest alapca, Wildflower (aka Wiffy).  She was 18 1/2 years old and we hope she enjoyed her “retirement” with us these last 5 years.  Love you Wiffy!

Mariners’ Stitch ‘n Pitch

A big THANK YOU to everyone who visited our table at the Seattle Mariners’ Stitch ‘n Pitch on Thursday night! We had a great table location to watch the game but it was a bit chilly as you can see our helper, Dennis, is hunkered down in his sweatshirt. Met lots of great alpaca yarn fans!

Stitch n Pitch with the Mariners – July 14!

Nationally known author (& knitter) DEBBIE MACOMBER visited our table at the Tacoma Rainiers game!


We liked it so much at the Tacoma Rainiers, we’re making it a “double play” with the Mariners! You don’t have to stitch but you can certainly enjoy a great baseball game at a great price – just $15 (limited number available). Time for a great family night of baseball!

There will be DOZENS of fiber arts vendors at the game. Firwood Farm Alpacas will be there with our alpaca yarn – so you can shop for yourself or a gift for the fiber artist in your life. Contact me for tickets and details!
