Real reviews from real people

  • "This is one of the most reliable companies to trade with. All contact I have made has been a joy. It feels as if I am of interest and cared about individually."

  • "The yarn was a dream to work with, super-soft and the finished jumper has beautiful weight and drape. In fact it has spoilt me for future knitting projects and once I have used up my stash, I plan to knit exclusively in alpaca."

BUT, what's so special about alpaca?

You've probably heard it's super soft and hypoallergenic, but did you also know it is water-repellant (Yes you can go out in the rain!), stronger than mohair, finer than cashmere, smoother than silk, softer than cotton, warmer than goosedown, and more breathable than thermal knit? Our alpaca yarn blends offer increased resistance to shedding and pilling (going fuzzy or bobbly).

  • Buy any mixture of 10 balls of yarn for 10% of all of them

Amazing alpaca fleece for birds!

Very happy with this alpaca nesting fleece. I contacted with some questions before ordering, and received prompt, friendly replies. Was very happy with the quality of the fleece I received. I filled an entire fatball holder, and still have over half a bag left. Took awhile for the birds to give it any attention, but to my delight, I have seen the Blue Tits flying off with clumps of it! Very happy with this product, and will happily buy it again so all the birds in my garden can build a comfy nest for themselves and their chicks!
