Inca Alpaca

Inca Alpaca
Inca Alpaca
Inca Alpaca is soft, sturdy and very warm--even when wet. Alpaca is a smoother fiber than wool, giving it a luster that many wools lack. It’s also a dry fiber; there’s no lanolin to worry about if you’re one of the folks who reacts to lanolin in wool.

The great color range in Inca Alpaca make it great not only for fair isle, but also for finding that one perfect color for solid garments and accessories.

Virginia Lee Burton Demetrios is beloved for her brilliant books for children, but she was also the organizing force behind The Folly Cove Designers, a group of mostly women who collaborated to hand print textiles in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
