Custom Handspun Luxury Eastport Alpaca yarn
70% Alpaca (Huacaya & Suri)/ 30% Merino wool

Design your own handspun yarn: choose your colour, your fiber contents and your yarn weight (gauge) and have it custom hand spun for your order.

• 2 ply in your choice of 5 yarn weights/thickness

• sold by the ounce - price and yardage increase as yarn becomes finer.

• Choose colour “Snowy Natural” or 28 hand dyed colors

The 3 Light (DK, light worsted) weight is about 50-65 yards per ounce.

I have prepared this chart to help you choose the amount and weight of the yarn you need for your project.

Eastport Alpaca is an ultra soft and perfect blend of 70/30 Alpaca fiber & Merino for strength, warmth and durability.
The fiber comes in a sliver which is a carded preparation which allows me to spin a lovely airy and soft woolen-spun yarn. Each skein of yarn is meticulously spun by hand in my home studio on my Louet S45 to a 2 ply yarn that is luscious and bouncy with spectacular drape.

This yarn is suitable for wearing next to the skin and is especially suitable for knitting for baby. It woud be lovely spun in a lace weight for a scarf or a lightweight shawl, in Sport, DK or Worsted weight for sweaters, hats and mitts, gloves, scarves, neckwarmers, blankets or shawls.

Eastport Alpaca is a beautiful, soft, sturdy and warm yarn. Eastport fiber is “home grown” with fiber coming from a collective of over 25 Americain family farms where the Alapca’s are raised and the fiber harvested. The fiber collected is then pooled and sorted to create wonderful 70/30 Alpaca/Merino blend.

The town of Eastport is a small, remote fishing village located at the most eastern point in the United States. With its long, cold winters, Eastport offers a space and the time for fireplaces and hot chocolate to work on those projects that will be special and enduring.

To my dismay this fiber is no longer available at my supplier but I do have a supply in my stash that should last for a while.
