What does the AFCNA do with fiber I send?

Each year the alpaca fiber is collected at a central location. Each farm's fiber investment is sorted by huacaya and suri, by color and by fineness grades. This data is recorded in the individual shareholder's fiber account and will ultimately be used to calculate the distribution of profits that each shareholder will receive. The fiber is then either sold as raw fiber or processed into yarn and end products and sold. The final use of the fiber varies based on the needs of the AFCNA at the time.
