About Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch
Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch in Littlestown, Pennsylvania offers on-farm alpaca fiber processing services. Their process begins immediately after shearing, where the fleece is carefully skirted, tumbled, and washed to remove dust and VM. They grade and sort the fiber by quality, with firsts coming from the back, seconds from the neck and rump, and thirds from the legs and belly. The ranch processes fiber into roving, yarn, and handmade items using Kromski spinning wheels and rigid heddle looms. Customers can pick up locally or have purchases mailed across the country.
