About us

Crafting pure, planet-friendly joy!

Nestled near Cambridge, Gorgeous Alpacas was born from a love of alpacas, natural fibres, and thoughtful crafting.

Our Journey

In 2017, Emma welcomed Jazz, Tor, and Caesar—her first alpacas—into the family. We learnt so much about what quality yarn means - the heath of the animals, the fibre quality, the micron size - and set about selecting beautiful top yarns to share the joy with makers ... like you!

From Fleece to Fibre

🦙We select yarns that have been sourced from British, Irish, and world Fair‑Trade artisans that align with our environmental and ethical values.

🎁 Curated & Crafted: Every yarn, kit, and accessory is selected to inspire creativity—whether you're a first-timer or a lifelong maker.

🧶Designed For You: We design unique knitting & crochet fit for knitters of all levels.
