We just received another shipment of our alpaca yarn from the fiber mill. Thanks to Candace for making the trek to Warsaw.White Violet Farm Alpacas are sheared once a year in the spring. We send about 99 percent of that blanket fleece to the fiber mill to be cleaned, carded and spun into yarn.
Frontier Fiber Mill in Warsaw, Ind., is the mill we've used for about three years. Sister Jean Fuqua said the process can take anywhere between six weeks and three months.
