The Alpaca Loom
Alpaca farm, weaving studio and showroom
The Alpaca Loom, less than ten km from Montagu, is the studio and showroom of Harmonie Alpacas. Jane and Ian and their team shear, clean, spin and weave the glorious fibre into all manner of fabric, scarves, jackets etc.
Some of our wool is dyed on the farm to give a colourful alternative to the many natural alpaca shades. We also are able to do a variety of unusual weaves, giving the fabric a very different appearance. In the studio you will be able to feel the softness of the raw wool and watch the spinning and weaving in progress. The alpacas graze all around, they are gentle, stately animals and many enjoy being hand-fed: bring your cameras!
There is a large range of exquisitely soft and reasonably priced finished garments for sale in both natural shades and hand dyed colours; knitters will find a supply of soft hand-spun wool. Being Scottish, we specialize in weaving Tartans, which are woven to order and exported to Scots all over the world. We will also take orders for garments and fabrics in the weave and colours of your choice.
Directions
The Alpaca Loom is on the Ouberg Pass Road, which is an alternative and interesting route to both Ladysmith and Touwsriver. To find us, head East out of Montagu on the R62, Barrydale direction. As you cross the river and come up the hill, you will see our sign, pointing you to the left onto the Talana road. After 500m on this tar road, turn left again onto the big dirt Ouberg Pas road. We are less than seven km along on the right, well signposted. |
