Their aim is to inspire you and help you fulfill your fiber dreams!

Alpaca yarns, socks and specialty items are unique to Alpaca Direct. Alpaca fiber is distinctive in so many ways; it is a hollow fiber with up to 3 times the insulating properties of wool, it has tremendous wicking capabilities, and it is hypoallergenic. Alpaca blends with and enhances other fibers such as wool, silk and cotton to create truly magical yarns. Pure alpaca and various blends come in each yarn weight, and are available in natural and dyed colors. The experience of knitting or crocheting with alpaca yarn will transform you forever. What alpaca yarn does for your fingers and knitting soul, alpaca socks will do for your feet. In addition to yarns they also carry luxurious baby alpaca scarves, shawls, slippers, and ponchos. Wrap yourself and those you love in the softness and warmth of alpaca.

While alpaca is at the core of their tremendous yarn selection, they also feature basic wool and specialty yarns in a wide range of fibers, styles, weights and a dazzling array of colors. Hand dyed sock yarns by Zen Yarn Garden, Dream in Color, and Manos del Uruguay are just a few in the ever popular fingering weight. We also feature Malabrigo and Madelinetosh wool and wool/blend yarns, favorites by Plymouth and Berroco, and so much more. You’ll find basic acrylics and superwash wool yarns for the practical projects. You’ll always find exceptional prices and daily deals. Most of all, at Alpaca Direct, you will find the convenience and community available only at your local yarn store - online.
