These alpaca garments are wonderfully soft as we use home and commercially spun wools from only our finest fleeces. Unfortunately, the softness can't be appreciated through a website but it is frequently commented on by our customers! All fibres used are their natural colours unless indicated. We always have products available and if you are looking for a special gift or just want something in particular, do contact us - I'm sure we can help you. If the item you are interested in has been sold, we can recreate it. Below are a selection of baby clothes and scarves, we are always adding to these.
All items are made from 100% fine alpaca fibre to give the softest and warmest feel for your baby.

Our scarves are expertly knitted to unique patterns. The fibre is usually 100% huacaya but depending on the design, some blended huacaya/suri is also used which is smoother and more lustrous. All of our alpaca products are made from fleeces with low fibre diameters which means there is no scratchiness to the skin.
The scarves shown below are typical of our stock though sales mean not all are now available.
White alpaca wool was crocheted into this open pattern and then the finished article was dyed using an extract of New Zealand lichens, harvested on our farm. The result is an infinity cowl with a silky feel in a gentle bronze colour.

This scarf is made of fine wool and hand knitted into a delicate birch tree pattern. The wool used is a blend of 40% suri alpaca and 60% huacaya alpaca fibres giving this article an amazing silky feel. Look at our 'About alpacas' page for the differences between the two alpaca types and their fleeces!
Three different wools are cleverly crocheted into this interesting pattern. The colours appear to lock into each other across the width.
This item is crocheted and joined into a loop with a half twist making it single sided! It can be worn as a single or double loop and is light, warm and very good to look at!
Infinity scarf/Cowl in pure alpaca. This is as above but has an alternative colour combination.
This scarf was knitted using four differently coloured wools to make fine lengthwise stripes. The overall effect is an earthy colour. Tasselled ends add a nice touch.
Some interesting knitting here to create this 'saw-tooth' effect. Grey and white wool have been used to create this quite striking scarf! The knit is looser making the overall item lighter and softer to the skin.
Every year, shearing provides us with wonderful fleeces for making fibre products. We no longer sell raw fleeces due to demand for rovings.
To produce the finest rovings, we use only fleeces with finer fibre diameters. They are air blown in a tumbler, picked over to remove vegetable matter and then commercially washed, carded and processed into long, fine rovings. These are particularly convenient for home spinners looking to create their own yarn.
Pricing (Postage is additional):
We have a wide range of fleece colours in our alpaca herd and try to have as many of these available as possible. Stocks change so by contacting us, we can tell you the details of the rovings you are looking for.

This new page is an interactive detailed listing of all alpaca shearers operating in New Zealand.
During our farm tours, visitors ask many questions about the alpacas, from keeping them, on their health, to their breeding and much between. This page gives a selection of these along with concise answers and many pointers to more detailed information. This page is growing!
Directions - Once in Wanganui, drive up Somme Parade and when it becomes Papaiti Road (just past the cemetery), travel a further 7.4km alongside the river. We are the first house on the right with a large white letterbox and sign for the farm. On Google Maps we are shown as 'Te Korito Alpacas'.
