Slowhayes Alpacas & Retreat in the New Forest
Alpaca Fibre
"Suri Alpaca fibre is like no other natural fibre in the world"
Suri Fibre has a natural lustre to it and can feel like silk to the touch. It is a sustainable environmentally friendly product and contains no lanolin making the fibre hypo-allergenic. In todays world where animal welfare is important to us as well as caring for the environment, we want a fibre that doesn't cause harm to an animal and does not cause harm to our environment. Alpaca fibre is exactly that and is the way forward without a doubt.
​
We are pleased to be a part of working towards a more environmentally friendly planet using fibre that is cruelty free.
​
Our alpacas are sheared once a year which is carried out with care and compassion. The alpacas feel nice and cool in the summer after being sheared and their fleece grows back in time for the winter ensuring they are warm and cosy by the time the weather turns cold. The fibre can then be sold either in its raw form or processed to make items of clothing. We have some lovely hats, scarves, headbands, Rugs made from our own alpacas who are still happily grazing in the fields. ​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
We have a small herd of Suri Alpacas, they have to be sheared for their welfare, we do this once a year and then use the fleece to make lovely products, happy in the knowledge that our alpacas are still enjoying the grass in the fields. Our alpacas are nurtured with love and care from the moment they set foot on our farm. Their welfare is of utmost important to us. Our Alpacas live out their days here in peace and tranquility.​
