The fibre
Once every two years our guanaco are sheared under calm, stress-free conditions. The fibre is then meticulously dehaired, separating the silken undercoat from the coarser guard hairs. The result is a 12–18 micron fibre that is:
- Softer than cashmere
- Hypoallergenic and lanolin-free
- Naturally warm, breathable and featherlight
- Perfect for hand spinning, felting and artisan textiles
Farming with purpose
Unlike traditional livestock, guanaco have minimal impact on the land. Their soft-padded feet protect the soil and they graze selectively, preserving biodiversity. Our farming is low-intervention, focused on coexistence rather than control.
Choosing guanaco fibre supports a farm that values slow processes, honest materials and a direct connection to the land and animals.
Handspun yarn
Handspun by Murmuring Wheel in the Peak District. Each 25g skein averages around 90 yards of fingering weight (superfine) yarn; as it’s handspun, yardage varies slightly. Suitable for crochet or knitting: shawls, baby items or an heirloom piece.
Each skein is part of a limited seasonal harvest, in fawn or cinnamon.
