Hand-Dyed Suri Alpaca Fiber, carefully skirted, hand dyed with Gaywool dye color called Indigo, rinsed, and laid in the sun to dry, ready to be carded for spinning, blended with other fibers, or spun right from the locks for a textured art yarn. Suri fiber is wonderful as embellishment in needle and wet felting projects, can be woven with, even knit or crocheted.
This soft fiber was grown by an alpaca named Kate and averages approximately 4.5" in length. Before dyeing this fiber had dark and light shades of color, making it especially interesting after dyeing. This fiber is considered to be of Medium fineness. Suris have a fine fiber, with different degrees of fineness based on the age of the alpaca, nutrition, and environment where the alpaca lives.
