Alpaca is as soft as cashmere and warmer then wool, it is also hypoallergenic I use only natural and plant dyes, these are sustainable and produce beautiful colours as well as keeping alive the ancient art of natural dyeing.
We are a small family run business with a herd of 45 alpacas. We hand select the finest quality fibre which is sent to the mill. I dye all our yarn by hand using natural dyes.
The nature of the natural dyes and the screen resolution mean that the picture colours are only a close representation. I can’t guarantee exact colour matches as there are many factors which affect the final colour.
Our yarn is soft and a pleasure to use. Please treat your alpaca yarn gently and wash by hand. Thank you
