What's so unique about these alpaca Ready-to Wear Products | |
![]() | Firstly, it's about the alpacas Although all but one range of the yarn we sell comes from alpacas living in the UK, alpacas were originally bred by Incas in the mountains of Peru, where the temperatures regularly swing from -18C at night to +20C during the day. So the alpacas developed to survive. The fibre has a unique hollow quality, and the trapped air expands and contracts with the temperature. What that means for us This means it keeps you warm when it's cold, but keeps you cool when it's hot. It's also naturally water-repellent. As evidence, we wear our hats in the rain and come in with totally dry hair ... so finally, knitwear that you can wear in wind, rain and sunshine! |

What else
Alpaca clothes are popular because the material is so soft, durable, luxurious and silky. In fact, it's stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, softer than cotton, warmer than goosedown, and more breathable than thermal knits. While it's similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.

I love my hat, thank you so much. I've been wearing it in all weather whilst I clean out the stables or bring the horses in for the night. It's kept me warm and dry this winter
