You can't tell the absolute squishiness from this photo- but Northstaralpacas is the definition of soft. Northstaralpacas has babysoft alpaca yarn- millspun and handspun and it's just an amazing treat for your needles. If you haven't tried any yet, you're really missing out!!
I love that with every purchase, you get a picture card of the animal that the fiber is from. Maple's Alpacas are more like pets, with names and personalities. Every purchase made goes directly toward the care and feeding of these animals.
We're giving away this beautiful Suri/Huacaya alpaca yarn from "Polaris". It's 250 yards of worsted weight goodness!! Please visit Northstaralpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week, so be sure and use facebook/twitter to spread the word and gain extra entries!

3 Way Swirl - Alpaca Roving - FireRed EmeraldGreen BurntOrange - 2 ounces - Dec Phat Contribution
What a gorgeous roving. I like to use roving in my rug hooking projects. Can make wonderful flowers. I have used it in the sky to created wonderful sunset pictures. This would look great to create a field with flowers. Thank you for hosting this give away.
I'm still spinning the last batch of baby alpaca fiber I got from Maple and it's amazing. I'm in love.
It's hard to choose only one item... if I had to order just one, it would be the golden brown roving from Polaris. For some reason I like alpaca in its natural color.
Twitted and FB'd
Still new to this and hadn't seen natural black alpaca before....it's very pretty. I love the idea of getting a pic of the little guy who so sweetly gave his coat so I could do a little more knitting.
I love everything in Maple's shop... if I have to choose just one item right now it would be the HandCarded Alpaca Batts in Natural Colors: awesome!
Posted on FB as well :-)
Handspun Alpaca yarn - Welcome Spring. Love, love, love the colors in that one!
I'm having some love for the Black Cherry roving. The color is pretty unique, and I bet it is SOOOOFT.
I really like spinning an animal by name.
There are no words to explain why I love to spin and knit with certain fibers...I just rub my fingers together and say with a dreamy look...it just feels good. Alpaca...oh yeah. Tactile dreaminess.
love the "welcome spring" handspun, handdyed yarn. Beautiful colors!
I love the black cherry alpaca roving! What gorgeous colors.
Couldn't get past Carnival Baby and loved seeing the before and after pictures. :-)

Beautiful as always!
I love your Spice baby alpaca yarn, the colors are so vibrant!
The gray home grown mill spun alpaca-merino is calling my name. Must... resist....
I love alpaca. And those Black Cherry rovings look amazing.
The pink waterfall batts are so pretty!
I want the alpaca! And the beautiful hand-dyed alpaca and silk roving :)
I have several pairs of wool socks from Northstar Alpacas. But do I have enough? I'm not so sure about that, because I really like them. Also, if you need a fiber treat, splurge on some BlackCherry Alpaca Roving - it's delicious!
I love the Many Mixed Fiber roving=)
Yum. I love everything in her shop. If I had to pick one, it would be the brown & white swirl roving. So pretty.
I like the batts she calls 'Pink Waterfall".
3 way swirl wins hands down!!!!
I like the alpaca/wool socks becausethey are locally produced and made. Can't get any better than that
I truly love the look of the Hand dyed Hand spun Green Alpaca Yarn - 180 yards.
I like a lot of this in the shop, but my favorite is the Natural Black Alpaca plus Silk HandSpun Yarn in Black Magic.
Love Alpaca anything... but the thing that caught my eye was Joe's fleece, the "BayBlack Alpaca Fleece - 4 ounces - Joe"
I fell in love with
Golden Brown Alpaca Roving - 2 ounces - Polaris and it just had to follow me home.
I tweeted
Well, first I liked the handspun hand-dyed green alpaca. And then I saw the hodgepodge handspun. But then I saw the black magic with silk mixed in and I decided that must be my favorite!
I love everything! Maple's stuff is so gorgeous, all of it. I've had the opportunity to play with some of her baby hats and handspun yarn, and man alive it is fantastic.
But, for this... I'm going to have to pick out the baby alpaca shawl. It is a beautiful, simple pattern and I can just imagine wrapping up in it! love love love!

I like the Many Mixed Fibers Roving in 2 ounces. I think it looks yummy and wonderful.
I love the spice yarn!
OOOOO - toss-up between the 220 yds baby alpaca in "Spice" - yummy! or the Alpaca/silk roving - I wish I had "touch-o=-vision" on my computer!
Love the Welcome Spring Handspun Alpaca Yarn!
Thanks :)
I loves me some Apricot Baby Alpaca Yarn. -nodnod-
Wow, that roving looks so soft, I could imagine sinking into it! I love the Golden Brown colour in particular.

I positively LOVE Maple's alpaca fiber! The blue alpaca/silk looks gorgeous as does the Nite and Day batt set!
The "Natural Black Alpaca plus Silk HandSpun Yarn in Black Magic" is glorious. It hits everything I love about knitting and fiber. Wow.

I've ordered a ton of fiber from Maple and have loved it all. I am spinning some white fiber I bought from her a few months ago now and when it's done, I will probably order some more of one of her "swirl" fibers. They are so fabulous to spin and look so wonderful when spun! I just love them so much!
Oh, I love her fiber! Really liking the Salmon and Sky blue alpaca roving. Very subtle!
Alpaca is my new favorite fiber for knitting. So Soft! I love the mills pun and hand dyed homegrown alpaca that is Burnt Orange and Butterscotch.
I really like the HandWoven Alpaca and Silk Scarf.
The Black Cherry Roving looks lovely!
Tempted to get the black alpaca roving. So lovely!
wonderful :) I love the BurntOrange and Butterscotch Alpaca Yarn!

I just posted this on facebook this morning. Thank your for the giveaway.
I want that lovely, fluffy, cuddly, white alpaca. What, that doesn't count? Ok, then I want the Spice - HandDyed Baby Alpaca Yarn
JR's story is so sweet and his soft brown alpaca roving is beautiful.
The brown and white swirl roving is perfection. I love neutral colors, just as much as the vibrant acid dyed colors.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooh, the "Light Gray Corriedale Cross Roving - Evert and Annie - 4 ounces" looks scrumptious.
I really loved the Natural Black Alpaca plus Silk HandSpun Yarn (mostly because I could just jump in and make something with it), but I also loved the natural black alpaca and silk roving. So pretty!
"welcome spring" lovely! i adore alpaca!
thanks for the giveaway
I loved the Spice Hand Dyed
The 100 percent Alpaca Roving - Brown and White Swirl - is really pretty. I'd love to get my hands on that to spin!

I love the Sapphire Baby Alpaca.
loving that baby alpaca shawl--sooooo squishy looking!
I'm very partial to the BlackCherry alpaca roving and the Black Alpaca roving, would like to combine these to spin...
I absolutely love the Hand dyed Alpaca and Silk Roving.

This fibre is absolutely gorgeous! And to know the wee fella who graciously gives it up for us "Yarn Knutters" is so delightful :)
Absolutely fantastic fibres and yarns. How difficult to choose only one...I can see my card getting a hit!!
The Emerald Green and Sapphire Blue yarns are calling to me. Your sample from April was so wonderfully soft it is very difficult to resist your yarn!
Their spun fawn alpaca looks so soft.
The pink color in Prom Pink 100 percent Baby Alpaca HandDyed Yarn is perfect for a girlie project.
I love the summer time carded batt :)
I love the 3 ply Brown Alpaca Merino Handspun!
Ohhhhh... squishy squishy alpaca. I got my other half to pick out some for a scarf. It was the first time I'd knitted with baby alpaca and it was so soft and lovely I wished it had been for me!
That Welcome Spring is calling out my name. The colours are so vibrant and beautiful.
I like the chesnut brown handspun yarn... beautiful!

I love ALL the alpaca! Especially the natural colors. My favorite things are probably the alpacas themselves; they're just so darn cute.
I really love the Black magic roving - that shock of bright blue just makes it pop! =)
I love Black Magic the Natural Black Alpaca Silk HandSpun Yarn

I love her alpaca roving. What I have used so far spins like a fluffy dream. If I was to order more I think it would be the merino/alpaca roving.
Ohhh, fleece!
The Chestnut Brown roving--so gorgeous.
