Made from Alpaca
See how we process the fleece and the things we make thanks to the Oak Tree Alpaca Herd.

Fresh from shearing

Shearing

Fresh from an alpaca, the fleece from the back (known as the blanket) is skirted by hand to remove vegetation and unwanted short fibres.

Carding

The fleece is carded on a drum carder to comb it. This lines up all the fibres ready to work with.

Spinning

The fleece is spun into yarn on a spinning wheel and then plyed, ready for knitting.

Hand-Knitted

We spin the fleece into yarn and then hand knit a range of beautifully soft items to keep you warm!
