Alpacas grow an amazing fleece every year which keeps them nice, warm (and fluffy!) during Winter. In the Summer months however they would be too warm with their fleeces. As they can’t naturally shed them we have to help them take it off. 

The fleeces that are carefully taken off our animals is spun into yarn by hand-spinners & a small mill in the South of England. This makes our alpaca yarn a very ethical, local & sustainable product.

Finding an ethically produced garment is very difficult these days. We’ve got the challenge of fast fashion which is shipped across the planet, is responsible for a lot of waste, but also causes pollution to our water with micro-plastics. We want to offer an alternative option to this by locally producing a quality fibre that can be traced back straight to our well cared for alpacas. Alpaca is a strong fibre and can last a long time. When you’re done with it after many years, you could even pop it into your compost leaving no waste as alpaca is bio-degradable!

All of this makes it a perfect choice, whether you’re looking to produce a stunning garment yourself or would like to provide a loved one with a unique locally made gift. It’s also a unique experience to be able to meet the animals that produced this lovely product for you!
