The Magic of Alpaca Wool

THE MAGIC OF ALPACA WOOL

The Heart of Our Brand: Our Beloved Alpacas

Our herd of alpacas isn’t just at the core of our business—they’re a huge part of what we love and what defines us. These irresistibly cute animals are not only a joy to have around but also the producers of our finest products. Alpaca fleece, with its exceptional qualities, has captivated wool lovers worldwide and is becoming a sustainable alternative to cashmere.

Why Alpaca Wool is Extraordinary

Alpaca wool offers benefits that outshine many traditional fibres:

  • As Soft as Cashmere, But More Sustainable
    Alpaca wool rivals cashmere in softness but comes with a smaller environmental footprint. Each alpaca produces significantly more fleece compared to cashmere goats, making it a greener choice.
  • Hypoallergenic & Gentle on Skin
    Free of lanolin, alpaca fibres are mostly hypoallergenic, perfect for people with sensitive skin.
  • Durability & Longevity
    Alpaca wool is more durable and less likely to pill than cashmere, ensuring your favourite pieces stay beautiful over time.
  • Warm Yet Lightweight
    Enjoy unbeatable warmth without the bulk. Alpaca wool is lighter and warmer than traditional sheep’s wool, making it ideal for all-season comfort.

As Emily Farra from Vogue.com puts it: “Alpaca fibers are incredibly soft and mostly hypoallergenic; more durable and less likely to pill than cashmere; and warmer, yet lighter, than traditional wool.”

 

Locally and Lovingly Sourced

We take pride in sourcing our alpaca wool responsibly. All fleece is lovingly collected from our own herd in our backyard and from our friends at Lightfoot Alpacas in Hawkhurst. Our commitment to transparency and local manufacturing ensures that every piece you purchase supports ethical and sustainable practices.

We also prioritise the welfare of our alpacas. The shearing process, essential for the health of fleeced animals, is done with the utmost care and respect for their comfort and wellbeing.
