Alpaca Fibre Products

Blankets, Quilts & Pillows

100% pure Alpaca fibre
produced and processed locally Devon

Luxurious and indulgent, our range of 100% pure Alpaca quilts and pillows are the perfect companions for those all important sleeping hours for the whole family.

Alpaca fibres have a hollow structure which makes them incredibly light and soft, and a natural insulator – helping you remain cool as you sleep in the summer, and warm in the winter. 

Because each fibre has a hollow core, your duvet will wick moisture away from your body while you sleep, keeping you comfortable, warm and cosy.

Alpaca fleece contains very low levels of lanolin (the grease found in sheep’s wool) this makes it naturally very clean, dry and absorbent, a hostile environment for dust mites which are a common cause of asthma and other allergies. Our duvets and pillows are encased in the finest 100% natural cotton fabric. We also offer an organic alternative, or you can supply your own fabric (no extra charge is made for this service).

Ethics
Our Alpaca fibre is produced & processed locally in Devon.  We believe strongly in high standards of animal welfare and responsible environmental practice and work always to sustainable principles and low 'fibre miles'.

Alpacas live up to 20 years and are farmed solely for their fibre production, not for meat. They are gentle, grazing, herd animals and are amazingly successful fox deterrents making them extremely good companion animals.

Care
Your Alpaca quilt and pillows can be gently hand washed and dried on the line – NEVER in a tumble drier. You may alternatively have it gently dry cleaned. We suggest you always use a flatsheet (or cover) and pillow slips in order to reduce the necessity to launder the products.

Ordering
Each item is hand made to order meaning you can choose a standard size or supply your own dimensions.  We are pleased for you to come and collect your items and meet our alpacas, or we will post your items at cost to any mainland UK address. As all our products are hand made and bespoke to your requirements we ask you to allow 4-6 weeks for delivery, although we may be able to dispatch more quickly if workload allows, or it may be longer dependant on time of year. We will always tell you this at the time of ordering.

We believe our quilts to be 10 Tog, however we feel testing methods are not truly suited to the qualities of alpaca. Quilts and Pillows are hand crafted using a traditional long arm sewing machine therefore stitching may be characterful, but will not affect the performance of your products!

PLEASE REMEMBER:

Duvets/pillows are not recommended
for children under one year of age
