Fibres
Luxury fibres
Broadlands Meadows Farm provides luxury fibres from our range of alpacas and angora goats. Alpaca fleece comes in natural shades of white, brown, black and grey but can also be dyed into powerful shades. Our spun yarns are generally sold in natural shades as the white yarn is fairly easily dyed to personal preference by knitters or weavers.
We use acid dyes to provide colours for our own handmade products. Alpaca fleece is naturally hypoallergenic and warm in use. The material becomes softer with washing and wearing. Angora fleece is soft and has a beautiful sheen. It is known as mohair - as distinct from angora which is the fleece from angora rabbits. Angora goats are white and the spun yarn is light and bright and it takes colour beautifully. We are also building up a collection of sheeps’ fleece because it encourages the survival of endangered breeds and provides different colours and textures.
