Shepherdess Alpaca

Purl Soho’s Shepherdess Alpaca roams across the imagination, wild and free. 100% undyed, handspun alpaca, it is straight from the grassy highlands of Peru and the artisans who live there. Each skein of this extraordinary yarn expresses the spirit of the women who created it, and it is their deep knowledge and passionate energy that makes Shepherdess Alpaca so incredibly special. We love Shepherdess Alpaca for quick sweaters and warm accessories! Although we no longer sell Shepherdess Alpaca, we do have lots of great substitutes that are available and in stock.
