About Colors

All Silky Alpaca yarns are not dyed

With over 20 different colors of alpacas, how do we decide what colors to make?  More white is available, of course.  Because the actual diameter of each alpaca fiber(hair) is finer than even most Merino wool, we have unlimited possibilities.  The Silky Alpaca farms don't have a lot of gray animals, so to make our beautiful gray yarns, we blend white fiber and black fiber together.  The fiber is so fine, that the human eye cannot differentiate the different colors(black and white) in the yarn.  So we see a gray yarn.  That is why the different brown colors(from beige to camel to coffee to maroon and brown/black) are all so unique.  At this time, the Silky Alpaca farms have more browns and white than we have black.  But a limited amount of black yarn is available and it is so soft!  We also have some very nice heather grays, which have not been blended very much, and these make gorgeous unique projects.
