Fleece

Baarrooka supports Australian Alpaca Fleece Limited by sending the majority of each years clip to their Sunshine depot for classing and value-adding. AAFL does a fantastic job at developing new markets for Australian alpaca and now has a retail outlet at Sunshine.

However, there are some fleeces that are too long for commercial processing, but are ideal for home spinners, textile artists and other fibre artists to use, which we sell from the farm. Many of these fleeces are the best fleeces from Baarrooka's show team.

Fleeces are generally available in all colours and are priced according to quality.

Below is a selection of available fleeces in both natural colours and hand dyed combinations. Please contact us for further information.

If you are looking for something in particular, please contact us prior to October each year to select your fleece from the alpaca's back!

We also have small quantities of huacaya fleece.

Batts

Carded batts, ready for spinning or felting are available in natural colours and hand dyed combinations (see below for examples).

Tops

Commercially carded rovings/tops are available in a range of natural colours and hand dyed.  The range includes suri, huacaya, silk and bamboo.  See below or contact us for custom dyeing. New lots coming soon.

Yarn

A selection of hand spun yarn is available in natural colours or hand dyed (see below for examples). The range includes suri, huacaya, silk and bamboo.

We have decided to concentrate on handspun yarns and fibre for spinners and felters. We will no longer have commercially spun yarns available, but can give you details of other breeders who have suri and suri blend yarns for sale.

Chunky Chullos

We have a delightful range of Peruvian-style Chullos made  by us from handspun yarn. Also some from wool/mohair blend.
