Blue Sky Fibers started as a pet project, of sorts. Shortly after graduating college, previous owner/founder Linda Niemeyer’s curious preoccupation with alpacas led to her buying one. Soon Linda found herself with a lot of yarn on hand. She took it to a nearby yarn store, which was willing to buy and sell it. The rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward to 2023, Blue Sky Fibers, now owned by Malabrigo, is known worldwide for its consciously crafted collection of high-quality natural fibers and patterns.
Creating consciously crafted fibers and patterns is more than just our focus, it’s our passion. Ever since we started with a small herd of alpacas in a Minnesota backyard, we’ve been committed to making yarn in the best way possible to show off its natural beauty. While our exclusive offering has expanded from alpaca to wool, organic cotton and silk, our appetite for exciting makers across natural fibres and knitting has not changed one bit. It all comes back to the yarn, lovingly filling each precious, handcrafted skein with endless inspiration.
