We believe that the future lies in alpaca breeders working together to achieve the production of luxury alpaca products in volume. Breeding the finest fibre will result in a sustainable, high value end product.

Alpaca is Eco Fibre

Alpaca is an environmentally friendly fibre which is shorn from the alpaca (without killing) once a year by professional shearers. Sorted and graded by hand it is then spun and produced by British fibre specialists. Alpaca comes in many natural shades and so does not need to be dyed, therefore eliminating the need for harmful dyes and processes which can affect the environment.

Alpaca is the Fibre of the Gods

Alpaca fibre is a light hollow fibre which is very strong, very warm and has very good wicking properties. It does not pill or bobble as much as other natural yarns and quality alpaca can be worn next to the skin without the 'prickle factor'. People report they are allergic to wool as it makes them itch. This is due to course fibres over 30 micron. Quality alpaca ranges in micron from 14 micron to 24 micron, ensuring there is no itch !
