Laurel Farm Hand Knits

Our beautiful hand-knitted garments are made from the wool of alpacas at Laurel Farm.  The alpacas are shorn annually and the fleece is sent away to a mini mill to be spun into high quality knitting yarn for our expert knitters to create superb hand crafted clothes and accessories.

Alpaca wool / fibre is highly prized and selective breeding by the ancient Incas succeeded in achieving extremely fine fibre products. The aim of modern breeding strategies is to reproduce the  fineness and density of fleeces which are in demand worldwide. 

Alpaca fibre is exceptionally fine, warm and lustrous, with a very soft feel (called the handle). As the number of scales on individual Alpaca wool fibres is considerably lower than that of sheep’s wool, this perhaps explains why people who are allergic to sheep’s wool do not have the same reaction to Alpaca wool.

The fibre is extremely durable, second only in strength to silk and comparable to cashmere for softness.  Alpacas produce fleece in 22 natural shades and colours, and here at Laurel Farm we concentrate on breeding good quality coloured alpacas whose fleece can be used without dye.  As far as possible we keep the colours separated so that our garments reflect the actual colour of the alpacas– such as black, mahogany brown, mid brown, light brown, and white.
