These alpaca garments are wonderfully soft as we use home and commercially spun wools from only our finest fleeces. Unfortunately, the softness can't be appreciated through a website but it is frequently commented on by our customers!
All fibres used are their natural colours unless indicated. We always have products available and if you looking for a special gift or just want something in particular, do contact us - I'm sure we can help you. If the item you are interested in has been sold, we can recreate it.

Our scarves are expertly knitted to unique patterns. The fibre is usually 100% huacaya but depending on the design, some blended huacaya/suri is also used which is smoother and more lustrous. All of our alpaca products are made from fleeces with low fibre diameters which means there is no scratchiness to the skin.
White alpaca wool is crocheted into this open pattern and then the finished article is dyed using an extract of New Zealand lichens, harvested on our farm. The result is an infinity cowl with a silky feel in a gentle bronze colour.

We have a wide range of colours in our alpaca herd and every year they provide wonderful fleeces for making fibre products. Although we convert most of our fleeces into rovings, some cleaned raw fleece may be available. Colour availability will vary with demand.
In preparation, the fleeces are skirted and most of the larger vegetable matter removed. Cleaning dirt from the fleece and removal of short fibres is done by air blowing whilst tumbling the fleece in a purpose built cage.
To achieve the finest product, we use only the fleeces with the finer fibre diameters. They are air blown in a tumbler, picked over to remove vegetable matter and then commercially washed, carded and processed into long, fine rovings. These are particularly convenient for home spinners looking to create their own yarn.
We try to have a good range of natural colours available at all times but our stock will vary. Please contact us with your requirements.
Farm tours are available for small groups and families to meet, feed, interact with and walk with our alpacas.
For full details and to book your experience of these wonderful animals, please go to our reservation form.
During our farm tours, visitors ask many questions about the alpacas, from keeping them, on their health, to their breeding and much between. This page gives a selection of these along with concise answers and many pointers to more detailed information. This page will be growing!
