Yarn

Our alpacas kindly donate their fleece to us once a year when they are sheared in spring. We 'skirt' the fleece to remove any debris and it is then sent to a mill on the Scottish borders to be processed into beautiful yarn. We do not dye our yarn and all our yarn is traceable back to the individual alpaca who gave us the fleece. The yarn shown to the left was donated by our lovely boys Pascal, Farron, and Amparo. We also have beautiful light fawn blends from Arcelia and Fintan, and Mandu.

Our luxury pure alpaca yarn is available to buy at £17 per 100g. Knit wear items may also be available, please contact us for more information.
