The Time Has Come…Cash For Your Alpaca Fiber. After much talk and a little doubt on the part of some including yours truly it looks as if there is action on the alpaca fibre front...
As they promised, the
American Alpaca Fiber Federation LLC, will start on September 1, 2008.
Their plan is to travel the length and breadth of the USA purchasing alpaca fibre.
If you want to become a member of the
American Alpaca Fiber Federation LLC and have them come to your area to purchase your fiber, simply
look here for details of pricing and membership information.
At the time of writing the Blog prices were as follows;
Note listed prices on web site are in US dollars per kg. One kg is equal to 2.2046 lbs.
Current Pricing for the week of July 31, 2008.
Adult Top Pricing - $4.54 per pound
Adult Neck/Leg Pricing - $2.00 per pound.
Note: Price deductions (docs) will be applied to but not limited to fiber that is extremely dirty or very heavy in vegetable matter.
This is a great new initiative and the collected wool will be shipped to Mexico where it will be blended with cotton to create a new brand of denim jeans available by August of this year !
I will be writing more about this exciting development tomorrow.
