The Fibre Studio is an outlet for alpaca yarn, rovings, batts, felts
and knitwear. We offer custom knitting and workshops in
knitting, crocheting and weaving. We can help you finish
your own “started-a-long-time-ago” projects.

Custom Knitting
I enjoy very much creating
knitted sweaters, based on my own patterns or my customers
ideas. I am using alpaca yarn from
our animals, or any material and colour suitable for the
project. You can send me your own material to be used for a very
personal garment.
The pictures on this page
will give you an idea of my work. Some of the project are hand
knitted and some are hand knitted in combination with a knitting machine to speed up the "straight" rather time
consuming parts.

I am offering knitting

our farm. Click here to find the latest workshop flyer.
FYI
Alpaca Fibre......
-
is
classified as a luxury fibre.
-
is stronger than sheep
wool, contains no lanolin.
-
comes in 22 natural
colors.
-
is hollow giving
better insulation and warmth in cold nights and a better
cooling on hot days.
-
The absence of guard
hair eliminates the scratchy “prickle’ so commonly
identified with other fibres such as sheep wool.
-
Those who cannot wear
sheep wool can comfortably wear alpaca so it is also referred
to as hypo-allergenic.
-
Alpaca yarn is water
repellant.
