🦙 Fiber Fact: What Is Crimp?

When evaluating alpaca fleece, one of the characteristics fiber producers look at is crimp. Crimp is the natural waviness found in individual fiber staples. It develops as the fiber grows and can vary greatly from one alpaca to another.

Why does crimp matter?
✔️ Indicates fiber quality – Well-defined, uniform crimp is often associated with finer, more consistent fleece.

✔️ Adds elasticity – Fibers with more crimp tend to create yarn with better stretch and recovery.

✔️ Improves processing – Consistent crimp can help fibers align more evenly during carding and spinning.

✔️ Creates loft – Crimp traps tiny air pockets, contributing to warmth and a fuller feel in finished products.

It's important to note that crimp is different from simply having a wavy fleece. True crimp is a regular, organized wave pattern visible throughout the fiber staple. Fiber producers often evaluate crimp alongside other traits such as micron count, density, uniformity, and staple length when assessing fleece quality.

Every alpaca fleece is unique, and crimp is just one of the many fascinating characteristics that make alpaca fiber such an incredible natural material. 🦙✨

Here you can see the crimp our girl Henwen has 💚

A question we get asked a lot is do alpacas spit like llamas... The short answer is yes, but they don't typically spit AT you like llamas.

UNLESS you are shearing Abraham! 🤣
He liked to let us know we were def in his space today.

Why do alpacas spit? 🤔🦙

Contrary to popular belief, alpacas usually aren’t spitting at people! Spitting is their way of communicating with each other. They use it to establish boundaries, settle disagreements, protect food, or say, “Back up, you’re in my space!”

Think of it as alpaca language — not bad behavior. Most well-socialized alpacas are gentle and curious, and if one spits at a human, it’s usually because they feel stressed, crowded, or uncomfortable.
So if you visit the farm and avoid getting in the middle of alpaca drama... your chances of getting spit on are pretty low! 😂🦙

Collecting up her Alpaca "gold" to bag up and sell 🥰

Alpaca manure might not be glamorous, but it’s a gardener’s dream 🌱

Often called “alpaca gold,” these little beans are packed with benefits. Unlike many other types of manure, alpaca manure is low in odor, easy to handle, and doesn’t need to be composted before using—so you can spread it directly in your garden without worrying about burning your plants.

Another bonus? It has very low w**d seed content compared to other manures, so you’re not accidentally planting w**ds along with your flowers and veggies.

It’s naturally rich in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—everything your soil needs to stay healthy and productive. Plus, it improves soil structure, helps retain moisture, and supports beneficial microbes, making it perfect for gardens, flower beds, and even houseplants.

Sustainable, natural, and straight from the source—your plants will thank you 🌿

Think alpaca poo is just for gardens? Think again—your lawn will love it too 🌱

Benefits for your lawn:
• Provides slow-release nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) for steady, healthy growth
• Improves soil structure, helping roots grow deeper and stronger
• Helps soil retain moisture, meaning less watering
• Supports beneficial microbes for healthier soil overall
• Low w**d seed content, so you’re not adding unwanted w**ds

A simple, natural way to get a greener, thicker lawn—without the harsh chemicals 🌿

Thank you so much to the person that is purchasing 10 bags from her this week!!! 🥰😍💚
