Alpaca Yarn

All of our Moore House Royale, Premier, Traditional, and Majestic North alpaca yarns are crafted to our specifications at carefully chosen Canadian mills, using fibre from our own beloved herd of alpacas right here on our Niagara farm.  We offer a wide array of yarn styles, weights, and custom blends with complimentary fibres in both natural and hand dyed colours.

Please review our Moore House Alpaca Yarn Guide below to help you select the most suitable yarn for your project.

Moore House Alpaca Yarn Guide

Use our Moore House Alpaca Yarn Guide to help you select the most suitable yarn for your project! Please note that we follow the standard yarn weight system developed by the Craft Yarn Council of America when labeling our yarn weights.

Moore House Royale - Our Royale yarns are the ultimate in softness as they are made with the rarest and softest grade of alpaca we offer, <20µm in fibre diameter! Royale yarns are suitable for items that will be worn next to the most sensitive skin. We offer Royale yarn in lace and fingering weights.

Moore House Premier - Our Premier yarns are buttery soft, made with alpaca in the low 20µm range. This yarn is extra comfortable and is suitable for items worn next to your skin such as scarves and shawls and is also perfect for baby items. Some varieties are blended with soy silk or bamboo.

Moore House Traditions - Our Traditions yarn is made from alpaca fibre in the mid to upper 20µm range. Since we have the mills dehair all fibre destined for Traditions yarn, this lovely yarn is very soft with dramatically less prickle compared with other yarns in the same micron range available elsewhere. Traditions yarn is most suitable for items such as sweaters, hats, and mittens. It is available in DK, Worsted, and Aran weight and some varieties are blended with bamboo, soy silk, or merino.

Moore House Majestic North Sock Yarn - Our Majestic North yarn is made from upper 20µm fibre and is blended with merino and bamboo especially for knitting socks. The bamboo adds durability as well as antimicrobial properties. Majestic North yarn is hand dyed in a large variety of colour ways.

DYED YARN - In addition to the beautiful natural colours that alpaca is famous for, our beautiful Canadian Moore House alpaca yarns are available in a huge array of lovely handpainted colours. The dyeing is carried out in small batches by hand at our farm, giving us many options for colour. Please be aware that the maximum quantity of yarn in a single dye lot is 400g. Because we offer so many colours, we do not maintain a stock of all colours at any given time; rather, we dye the colours as orders are placed. Our dyed yarns come in 50-110g skeins as described. Please allow up to 1 week for your order of dyed yarn to be prepared before shipping.

Please note that the stocked quantities of specific yarns are always fluctuating. If you are planning a project that requires a large amount of yarn, such as a sweater, please contact us to ensure that we have enough of a particular weight and colour of yarn to meet your needs.
