100% Llama Wool Hats

One of the many gifts from our llamas is their abundant, fine, silky fleece. It comes in a wide range of natural colors from white to true black, with many shades of red, brown, gray, and the multicolored "appaloosa" that cards into a beautiful soft beige.

 
As with the many colors of llama fiber there is also a wide range of fiber type. The soft downy undercoat of the "classic" llama is usually collected by brushing in order to remove the medulated hairs (guard hairs) . The fleece of "woolly" llamas varies from some with noticeable guard hair, to those with long silky locks and medulated hair as fine as the luxurious down, creating a seemingly single fiber fleece. Micron counts of 20 or less are not uncommon.

All llama fiber is usable, with fine, luxurious garments made from the single fibered animals and rugs and wall hangings from the coarser fleece, guard hair adding texture and interest. Leftovers and less than perfect parts of the fleece can be used to create beautiful locker hooked rugs or felt projects, and even a tuft left on the ground may become wall to wall carpet for a neighboring bird's nest!
