Pound for Pound, as Cottage Growers, our fiber can bring more profit to us through a cottage application. Our niche markets for specialty yarns, felted items, hand made garments, and artful creations will likely bring the highest yield directly back to the producer. However, with thousands of pounds of beautiful natural fiber available throughout the entire alpaca community, more must be done to fully utilize the potential of our fiber. Where will our focus be? Will we support the North American Fiber Markets? Will we support the efforts of our Co-ops, Designers, and Mills right here in North America? The answer is yes to all the above.
Whether you are an avid Show supporter, fiber producer, fiber enthusiast, textile creator, or designer/manufacturer, the network of cottage producers is your source of fiber. Our industry is here to stay.
Welcome to The Cottage Industry Alpaca Breeders Association ... where it all begins (TM).
It is all about fiber. No matter what you do with it, it simply all starts with the cottage industry. Without the growers and producers, fiber application has little meaning.
The Cottage Industry Alpaca Breeders Association (TM) was created to protect the interests of those producing natural fiber, and the animals that bear it. CIABA(TM) will continue to support all avenues, including commercial application of fiber that leads to a sustainable, profitable fiber industry.
