Llamas & Alpacas for Sale or Breeding

  Historically, alpacas were selectively bred for fine textile fibre, while llamas were primarily bred as pack animals. As a result, alpacas have typically produced finer fleece than the average llama.

We believe however, that by carefully selecting specific genetic traits for breeding - fibre fineness, density and uniformity - our breeding program produces llamas capable of growing exceptionally soft, high-quality fibre suitable for premium textile products. 

We have spent years breeding and producing high-quality luxurious fibre from both our llamas and alpacas used in all of our products. 

The terms wool and fibre can be used interchangeably. Within the industry, fibre is the more commonly used term, but both describe the same natural fleece produced by llamas and alpacas.

Although these remarkable animals have many valuable roles, as noted above, their fibre remains one of the world's most luxurious and sustainable natural textiles. We believe the long-term foundation of the llama and alpaca industry is their extraordinary natural fibre and the products made from them. 

Llama and alpaca fibre possesses a unique combination of qualities that make it one of the world's premium natural fibres.

Exceptional Softness - Lightweight Warmth

Strength & Durability -  Natural Lustre

Wide range of Natural Colours

Dye Friendly - Comfortable to Wear

South America remains the heart of the worlds llama and alpaca textile industry, with Peru and Bolivia producing the vast majority of commercial alpaca fibre. Peru continues to be the world's largest producer of alpaca fibre, supplying roughly 90% of global commercial production, with Bolivia ranking second.

Outside South America however, the industry has been slowly expanding over the last few decades, and today Canada has an estimated population of over 6000 llamas and 25,000-30,000 alpacas. The United States, Australia, New Zealand, and several European countries have also established thriving herds, supporting growing markets for breeding stock, fibre production, and finished textile products.

Although the North American industry is still relatively small compared to South America, the industry continues to grow as more farms start to breed and choose llamas and alpacas as a choice of livestock. Increased interest and demand for premium natural garments also continues to grow as more consumers seek sustainable, local and ethically produced products.
