About Us
These beautiful creatures are why we fell in love with this opportunity......
Unfortunately, we no longer offer onsite tours. For 13 years, we raised these wonderful animals and sheared them for their fabulous fibre. We will continue to produce products as long as we have the fibre to do so. We will be attending fall vendor shows. Please follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts for show listings.
Alpacas are fabulous animals
who enjoyed our visitors
Alpaca 101
Did you know......?
- alpacas are clean and intelligent
- they produce fibre that is as fine as cashmere, soft, silky and much warmer and stronger than sheep's wool
- alpacas are quiet, peaceful animals and make soft humming sounds to communicate
- alpacas are easy to raise, can be handled by anyone and are safe around children
- alpacas require little space
- alpacas gestational period averages 11 1/2 months
- alpaca females give birth during the day, usually between 10am and 3pm
- alpacas make cleaning their pens easy, as they only 'go' in a designated spot!
- alpaca droppings, or 'beans'are practically odourless and are excellent for enriching the soil
- alpacas very rarely spit at people. It is their cousin the llama who specializes in that!
Alpaca Fibre
Why is it so special?
- alpacas come in 22 distinct, natural colours which can easily be blended into an array of 250 natural shades
- moisture and odour free: alpaca fibre wicks moisture away from the skin. Feet stay dry and warm. And no moisture build-up means no odour!
- durable: Alpaca is a strong, natural fibre. It is about 6 times stronger than sheep's wool
- naturally thermal: Alpaca fibre grows with microscopic air pockets inside, which provide excellent insulation in light weight garments. It is naturally thermal.
- Hypoallergenic: Alpaca fibre can be worn next to the skin with very little or no itch factor, and contains no lanolin. It does not tear, pill or stain
- blister resistant: Alpaca fibre is silky, soft, supple and smooth to the touch. It feels luxurious and resists rubbing and blisters
