| Nightingale Fibers was born out of our desire to produce yarns from the beautiful alpacas around us. Cynthia has been knitting for over 40 years and has recently started spinning. Fiber, yarn and anything related, has occupied a great deal of her time lately. David is yearning to retire and start a small fiber producing farm featuring alpacas. In the meantime he is spending time helping out at friend’s farms. The goal of Nightingale Fibers is to provide knitters and spinners with good quality yarns and fibers, with emphasis on alpaca yarns and on products from local farms and independent artists. I hope you find our products as special and unique as we do. | ||||||
