Hi there! My name is Laura Ilko owner of Selah Yarn Co and designer behind Selah Yarn Co Designs. A lover of yarn and all things fiber. I am always searching out new techniques, patterns, constructions, and ideas for my fiber arts. You will almost never not find me with a project in tow, whether that be in the car, waiting at the doctors, sitting outside with my kiddo…it doesn’t matter to me!

My husband had always raised animals growing up - mainly sheep. We wanted the same life experience for our son, and began to think what we could do! Of course my love of yarn and and this vision collided, and we started researching how to raise alpacas. It didn’t take long for us to fall head over heals in love with these wonderful animals. We purchased our first 6 girls in 2015, and have since grown to over 50 alpacas. Our focus is on producing animals with beautifully soft and luxurious fiber that will turn into one of the finest yarns you can work with.
