Alpaca Products
Alpaca Fibre
Alpacas are shorn once each year producing a luxurious, soft, cashmere-like fibre. The fibre comes in 22 natural colours and can be dyed if desired. Lacking the lanolin present in sheep wool, alpaca fibre is hypo-allergenic and softer when worn against the skin.
 Products
There are a variety of finished and unfinished products available.
Fibre directly from the animal can be bought in its raw form and rovings are available for spinners and weavers. Spun yarn can be purchased for hand crafting, and finished items such as socks, blankets, scarves and mittens make unique and impressive gifts or treats for those who like to indulge.
Heirloom gifts are accompanied by a personalized card introducing the lucky recipient to the animal who produced the fibre and the loving process involved in producing the gift.
