The alpaca fiber in these yarns comes right from the farm's own alpacas, while the wools are sourced from farms in Canada. Every skein is carded and spun at Opulent Alpaca's own mini mill. To learn more about Barry and Isabel's farm, visit their website \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theopulentalpaca.ca\/our-story\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePROJECT IDEAS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese yarns have gorgeous drape and warmth, so we think they'd be perfect for shawl knitting! They would also make for beautiful garments like sweaters and vests, or for accessories like hats and mitts. The more wool content, the more structure you'll get. And the more alpaca content, the more drape. You can match these yarns to certain projects accordingly, based on the fiber content. They make great all-natural socks too!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Opulent Alpaca","offers":[{"title":"Morning Dew","offer_id":45686917136560,"sku":null,"price":30.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Seaside Sunrise","offer_id":45686917071024,"sku":null,"price":32.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pistachio","offer_id":45686913826992,"sku":null,"price":32.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Key Lime","offer_id":45686917103792,"sku":null,"price":30.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Autumn Sky","offer_id":45686917202096,"sku":null,"price":32.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harvest Moon","offer_id":45686917169328,"sku":null,"price":32.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Apple Crumble","offer_id":45686917038256,"sku":null,"price":32.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Aqua","offer_id":45686924181680,"sku":null,"price":30.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mint Dreams","offer_id":45686924214448,"sku":null,"price":30.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/5109\/1632\/files\/opulent-alpaca-key-morning-dew.jpg?v=1791746808","url":"https:\/\/www.fiafia.ca\/products\/cape-breton-yarn-the-opulent-alpaca","provider":"Fia Fia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
