Description
We wanted to show you what our breeding priorities are here at Delphi, some of the fleeces from alpacas we have selected to utilize in our program, and some of our favorite offspring, so we created this listing.
Over the past 23 years we have learned about many characteristics that make Alpaca fleece stand apart from other fleece animals such as merino.
But in a word - there is one characteristic that stands out for us, and that is Handle.
The primary components of great handle are Fineness, Brightness (primarily scale structure), and Uniformity.
These components must be present to create a superb handling fleece - and product.
We could go on and on about the many other factors that make a superior fleece, and a superior alpaca.
But for now - that's a good place to start, as it's been our focus here at Delphi for many years.

We'd love to talk with you about all things alpaca, zip us an email!
Enjoy browsing our listings.
