These animals produce some of the finest fiber in the world. It is like touching a cloud, as many spinners describe it. Only a limited supply of this fiber is available since there are just over 400 of these animals in the United States.  We were excited to get micron tests back this spring.  We knew Blaze was soft but his 13.6 micron blew us away.  Ariel's 14.5 micron is more proof that she is the spitting image of her mother, Athena.  Several 15 and 16 micron histograms show that our breeding stategies are paying off.

Hickory Ridge Farms is excited to share our paco-vicuñas with you through this website. Please browse our photo galleries and contact us if you want more information or would like to visit our farm to see these animals up close and in person. They are truly a breed set apart.
