2. Yarn from Cotswold Alpacas

Our alpaca yarn is produced slowly and with care. It begins in the fields with happy and calm alpacas that are a special part of our family. We are passionate about our high welfare standards, ethical farming and sustainability. Cotswold Alpaca Yarn is soft, light and warm and we dye our yarns gently so that every batch is irresistibly beautiful and unique.
