About our products
Alpacas produce one of the world's finest and most luxurious natural fibers. It is clipped from the animal without causing it injury. Alpaca fiber is as soft as cashmere and comes in many colours; more natural colours than any other fiber producing animal. Alpaca is warmer, lighter and stronger than wool.
The Alpaca is most closely related to the vicuņa, a rigorously protected species belonging to the same genus as the llama.
They are rare animals found in half-domesticated herds inhabiting the valleys of the Andes at altitudes of up to 4000 metres. Their
lightweight and very robust coats protect them from the extreme temperature differences between day and night that are so typical of their natural habitat.
Mohair goats which originated in the Himalayas, are now more common in Turkey and South Africa. Their hair allows brilliant colours to be produced.
Imagine the scene……the mohair goat from the Himalayas or the Alpaca from Peru give up a little of their coats. The hair is sent to skilled spinners in Europe. They turn the fibre to hair which can be woven into a cotton backing.
