The Fibre: Rare, Luxurious, Responsible
Once every two years, our guanacos are sheared under calm, stress-free conditions. The fibre is then meticulously dehaired, separating the silken undercoat from 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 artisanal textiles
This fibre is harvested in very limited quantities, making each purchase a rare treasure.
Farming with Purpose
Unlike traditional livestock, guanacos have minimal impact on the land. Their soft-padded feet protect the soil, and they graze selectively, preserving biodiversity. Our farming model is low-intervention, focusing on coexistence rather than control.
By choosing guanaco fibre, you're supporting a farm that values slow processes, honest materials, and a direct connection to the land and animals.
