I love LOVE Northstar Alpacas. Maple and her lovely fiber animals have been contributing to the Phat Fiber experience since darn near the very beginning. I feel like I know the animals on Maple's small Michigan farm through the photo cards of them with every item she creates. I think Tribute the Alpaca is my favorite. His picture is so proud and floofy and his fiber is just sooo soft and yummy!
We're giving away this beautiful, amazing, gorgeous 75% Alpaca 25% Merino Tribute yarn today. It's 250 yards of lofty worsted weight bliss, I tell you. Please visit NorthStarAlpacas today, find something you love, write about it in the comments section below and you'll be entered to win this beautiful yarn. I will award extra entries to those who twitter/facebook about this as well.

My fingers would like to play in the white handspun suri alpaca, please.
The Black Alpaca Roving is gorgeous, but I have a very soft spot for black alpaca...
p.s twitted about it too.
I love the colors of the HandDyed HomeGrown Alpaca Yarn - 250 yards - Homestead
I LOVE alpaca. It's so hard to choose one thing :) I love the 100 percent Alpaca Roving - Salmon and Sky Blue- 2 ounces. beautiful colors!
Sapphire and Plum Swirled Alpaca Roving - 2 ounces
luv also Many Mixed Fibers - Roving - 2 ounces
twweeted also that i like Many Mixed Fibers - Roving - 2 ounces

I love the Black Cherry roving. so pretty!
I like the Brown and White Swirl roving, makes me think of hot chocolate
The Brown Alpaca Merino Handspun looks lovely to knit with.
I love everything from Maple and her fiber friends! I am seriously considering the Layers in Luxury batts and maybe some of Sparty's fleece in Grape!
My "Maple stash" is too big to allow me to buy more, but these batts: 'Layers of Luxury - Alpaca and Angora Batts from midMichigan' surely do make it hard (as everything in her shop)
Posted on FB as well
The Layers of Luxury batts looks tempting. Judging from everything else I've bought from North Star Alpacas, they will be at least as nice in person.
Ooh, I love the brown and white swirl 100% alpaca roving. Gorgeous!
I love Sparty's fleece in Grape and Target's fleece that has been dyed RosySalmon.
I am also really taken with the Layers of Luxury batts.
I love all of the alpaca fleece. I'd like to try some of Tom's fleece.
I like the Alpaca - Merino HomeGrown White Yarn the best.
Mmmm, alpaca. The brown alpaca merino looks so cozy!
Thanks for all the lovely comments, friends, and for your kind words, Jessie. I think your camera might be a little off though. Tribute's yarn is gray ☺
Ooh, the "Grape HandDyed Alpaca Fleece from Sparty - 4 ounces" is a wonderful color. I'd have to learn to process it first, though! New hobby, anyone?
There was 3 that I really like:
Carnival Baby alpaca-220 yds
HandDyed HomeGrown Alpaca Yarn-250 yds-Homestead
Handspun Brown Alpaca yarn-324 yds
(it's the medium fawn brown with the gold color in it).
I can't choose...I love the black alpaca roving...but I also love the charcoal grey top...and all the grey fiber actually...the pink waterfall has been tempting me for quite a while actually....someday I'll get something from this wonderful shop....
Not to be too girly here, but the Prom Pink 100 percent Baby Alpaca HandDyed Yarn is pretty amazing.
The handdyed handspun Green Alpaca yarn is beautiful!
I love the black and tan handspun alpaca and the roving would be great to spin.
The crew socks look pretty comfy, and the hand dyed handspun green alpaca is gorgeous!
The grape alpaca locks look like they will spin up into some gorgeous yarn!
The Soft fawn homegrown alpaca yarn looks just divine. Squishy and soft - perfect for a snuggly cowl!
The handwoven alpaca and silk scarf is stunning - such a perfect combination of detail and minimalism, and I bet it feels wonderful. There's a pink and white batt that I wouldn't object to having as well. Actually, I'll just take the whole inventory.
i love the brown handspun, very pretty.
I love that orange and yellow handspun!
Aw, alpacas are so adorable!!! I love those dark, natural colors. My favorite is the chestnut brown roving, but I also like the natural black roving, too.
Really want both the white and the fawn raw fleece! Love the quality of her alpacas.
I was drawn to Sapphire and Plum Swirled Alpaca Roving. Love the colors!

I love the sapphire and plum alpaca roving! I'd be getting it if I didn't have vet bills to pay. I also really like it when I know the name of the animal the fiber is coming from - I don't know why, just seems more personal, I guess!
i like the Alpaca Sheep Bamboo Silk FireStar Batts.. Nite and Day
thanks
