We at Herd Alpaca Apparel believe nothing should go to waste. Particularly not our beautiful alpaca’s fleece. We use what is known as the ‘blanket’ to create our luxurious garments. This is the most uniform part of the whole fleece meaning that the length and quality is pretty similar. The other cuts are the neck and legs, known as 2nd and 3rds. Still as lovely but not always as long. These particular cuts are what we use to process into coarse spun yarn which is perfect for hand knitting. From this yarn we have created a stunning collection of, well, what we like to call Blankugs! These are blankets, rugs and hugs all rolled up into one uniquely coloured piece. They are not dyed, they are all unique, they are all lovingly handknitted. They can be used as a blanket to keep warm, a weighted blanket to keep snug, a light use rug to decorate a room, a throw to liven up your sofa, the list is endless. Whatever and how ever you choose to use is up to you but rest assured you will know that your Herd Home alpaca apparel is as unique as you.
