We already have several designs available to order, from warm hat and scarf sets for the winter to lacy boleros for party wear on summer evenings. As each item is made individually you can choose a design you would like to have knitted in your size.
Alpacas are bred for their fine fleece, known as a “noble” fibre. It was much prized by the Incas of South America, who made it into clothing for royalty. Now we are able to make luxury, fashionable clothes for ourselves from alpacas farmed in England’s Westcountry. One advantage of wearing alpaca knitwear is that people who are allergic to sheep’s wool usually find pure alpaca warm and comfortable. Alpaca is also very light compared with sheep’s wool for the degree of warmth it provides. We will soon have a range of rugs and carpets, too, made from alpaca, so you can experience the luxury of walking on alpaca as well as wearing it.
