Knitalpaca

Knitalpaca are alpaca growers and yarn producers bringing you luxury fibres, yarns and designs from Australia and around the world.

Alpacas are members of the South American camelid family. Along with the bigger llamas, used as pack animals, alpacas were domesticated thousands of years ago by ancient Andean cultures, to produce a warm, soft and luxurious fibre.

Situated on Australia’s southern coastline, at the heart of Victoria’s spectacular Otway Ranges & the Great Ocean Road, two alpaca studs specialise in breeding black alpaca with fine, lustrous fleece. Lauris and Andrew Jephcott, together with Liz and Russell Dawe are also passionate about promoting alpaca of all colours as a luxury fibre for top class clothing, textiles and fibre art. Their studs, Alpaca Marengo and Blaka Alpacas, have formed the basis for the development of Knitalpaca luxury yarns, although fibre for the yarns now comes from a growing number of Australian alpaca breeders.

Yarns

Knitalpaca yarns are created from quality Australian alpaca. Spun for us by a specialist fibre mill, our yarns are grown and entirely produced in Australia.

Granda: Lustrous, chunky and seriously warm. Granda yarn in 100% alpaca is ideal for rugs, shawls, weaving and other fibre art projects.
Softa: Softa is a fine, 100% alpaca yarn spun in 2-ply. The fibre was supplied by animals in our Knitalpaca partner herds, mainly from the first (or baby) fleece.
Surindulgence: Real luxury! Fine yarn spun from 100% lustrous, silky, suri alpaca.
Luxa: A wonderfully smooth 5-ply yarn in 100% alpaca.
Granite: A luxurious blend of 90% Australian alpaca and 10% pure silk.
