Choice Alpaca Fiber Call

Get value for your alpaca fiber while promoting American alpaca farms!  Choice Alpaca buys alpaca fiber for a number of projects like blankets, felt inserts, dryer balls, other felt products, socks, accessories, and yarn. They work with a number of US mills to make products for their Made in the USA line. 

 In general, you should go to the Choice Alpaca fiber call site (https://choicealpacaproducts.com/blogs/news/choice-alpaca-buys-fiber) to get details on this program, but here’s a quick summary of how it works: You setup an account with Choice Alpaca and clean your fiber. Once it’s ready, use a vacuum to suck the air out of the bags, box up your fiber, and arrange with Choice Alpaca for shipping labels.  Once the fiber gets to the sorters, they will determine the amount of usable fiber in your shipment (i.e., there’s no point in shipping fiber that’s full of vegetative matter, poop, or rocks).  You then receive store credit with Choice Alpaca at the rate of $6 per pound of usable prime fiber and $4 per pound of usable seconds and thirds.  If you have need of product for your farm store or gifts for family and friends, this is a pretty easy way to turn your fiber into finished products!
