alpaca to the apparel
100% UK Alpaca Fibre Now and Always
At Alpaca Apparel, we oversee the entire journey of our alpaca fleece knitwear, from the ‘alpaca to the apparel’. The process begins each year with shearing, which takes place annually in May. The fleece is carefully sorted before being sent to our trusted mill in Northern Ireland. There, it’s processed using 100% renewable electricity, ensuring a sustainable approach at every step. The fleece is blended into unique, undyed yarns and spun onto biodegradable cones. It’s then sent to Leicester, where our simple yet elegant designs are brought to life using state-of-the-art knitting machines.
We follow this method at every stage of production, ensuring that everything remains UK-based and completely sustainable.
Our dedication to maintaining the natural beauty and luxurious qualities of alpaca fleece knitwear shines through in each of our creations. We take immense pride in our products, and our passion for creating exquisite alpaca fleece clothing is matched only by the love we have for these gentle creatures.
our quality promise
British alpaca. Responsible making. Clear origin.
We’re a New Forest knitwear brand built on traceability, responsible farming, and considered design. Our fibre comes from our own herd and from local friends. We blend our natural fleece colours to create new colourways for our yarn. Our collections are produced in small runs with British mills and makers who share our standards.
We make clothing with integrity — materials grown, not manufactured; colours natural, not synthetic; pieces created to last, not chase trends.
No shortcuts. No greenwashing. No excess. Just well-made knitwear with a clear origin and a clear purpose.
Alpaca Apparel stands for clarity, responsible farming, and a way of working anchored in the New Forest. When you choose our knitwear, you know exactly where it comes from — and why it feels different.
Origin-led. Seasonless. Built to endure. Alpaca to the Apparel.
We use UKgrown alpaca fleece to reduce our impact and support regenerative farming.
Every piece is made to look good, feel good, and last.
