Northern VT Llama Co - member, Vermont Fibershed

Lindsay Chandler and her husband Geoff have been raising llamas since 1986. Recently our son Stephen has returned to the farm to continue our business! Northern Vermont Llama Co began as a breeding farm and soon added diversity by offering llama treks through Smugglers Notch Resort. Working with the llama fiber has become a passion, and the farm sells fleece, roving, and yarn as well as finished products including hats, scarves, ornaments, and much more! Lindsay began a line of stuffed animals, “Llama Llovables” and is a member of the Herd of Northern Vermonters, a fun loving fiber group of llama owners.

Llamas have a variety of fiber types, from soft and lofty to silky . Most llamas are 2 coated, with guard hair to protect the fleece and extremely soft down. In the wooly and silky (suri) llamas the guard hair have been bred fine so the fleece is considered single coat. Llama fiber contains no natural oils or lanolin which also makes it lightweight and it yields 90–93% of its original weight when processed. It shrinks little in washing. As many as 48 natural colors can be found, ranging from white, light brown, dusty rose, dark brown, gray and silver, all the way to black.
