Dundee Farm is now producing heirloom quality throws, each one unique, produced of baby alpaca fiber.  They are one-of-a-kind pieces and have been very popular as wedding gifts.  Below are a few examples of the throws and the fleece they come from.

A Pashmina in every color is soooooooooo last century. Luxurious alpaca is the Haute Couture!

Centuries ago, the Incas of South America cherished the alpaca and its luxurious fiber. Woven alpaca fiber was reserved for Incan royalty.

Garments made of alpaca fiber are elegant and durable. They range from sweaters, scarves and hats to the finest suits. Today, alpaca is still rare and royal. It is reputed that Princess Diana had 17 alpaca suits.

Alpaca fiber is strong, resilient, lightweight and luxurious. Alpaca fiber is perhaps the softest, silkiest, warmest natural fiber in the world. Alpaca comes in 22 natural colors – more than any other fiber. The garments are:

  • soft as cashmere
  • warmer and stronger than wool
  • silky and lustrous
  • durable and non-allergenic
  • environmentally friendly

Alpaca fiber processed in Peru is mainly sold to Italy and Japan, although there are some lovely garments now available here. In the United States, there are an increasing number of “mini-mills” that process fiber into rovings, yarn, and finished products. There is also a national cooperative, the Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America, which collects and processes American alpaca fiber and produces a range of products.

Alpacas offer the small acreage farmer the opportunity for financial and the personal reward. If you wonder why alpacas are becoming more and more popular as a livestock investment, come visit our farm and experience these animals with their beautiful fleece and the lifestyle they bring to Dundee Farm.

Stop by Dundee Farm and  feel the luxury of Alpaca.

The natural shine and softness of alpaca fleece translates into exquisite throws, knits, and garments.
