| Alpaca Creations |
| Southern Alpacas are proud to offer lovely alpaca products — from garments to footwear
and everything in between. Treat yourself to the warmth and softness of alpaca.
All of the products are made in New Zealand, from the wide range of naturally occurring alpaca colours, to a high standard of craftsmanship.
Most articles are made from fibre from our award-winning alpaca herd. The fleece is selected, shorn, and hand cleaned to quality standards. We do not use chemicals in the production and cleaning of this fibre.
|
 |
 |
The one-off garments are all individually hand crafted and we are pleased to support our hand crafters by offering their products for sale.
We have gift vouchers
- tell us what you want to spend and we will make up a voucher for you to give
as a present.

Payment |
You can pay at our secure site by credit card, or, within New Zealand, by cheque.
We will add the post and packing charge — which varies with your location and the weight and size of your order. |
| Post and packing |
One of the many benefits of alpaca is that it is light and easy to post.
You can buy several small items and still be under 1kg in weight for postage.
The exception is the duvets, which are 3-6kg depending upon duvet size.

The natural insulating and thermal qualities of alpaca are utilised in these comfortable duvets.

Alpaca Fibre Cleaners
 These unusual implements are used to clean the alpaca's coat before shearing. The electro-static force created by drawing the implement through the fibre, causes removable vegetation
and dirt to jump out. Yes, really !! The wiggly cleaner now comes by itself at $30 but you can buy two wiggly cleaners for $55.
|
 |
Cria Coats
 Coats for baby alpacas, to keep them warm and dry. These cria coats all have a water-proof outer, and a thermal insulation inside a fabric cover on the baby side. Some have a merino wool layer on the inside. Choice of colours and sizes from small newborn, through medium, to larger ones.

Alpaca torch
 This little torch is incredibly useful. It is slender, bends to get light into awkward places, and it is magnetic. It can be clipped in your pocket to keep it handy.
It is perfect to clip onto a speculum to light it up so your vet can see into a female alpaca. It is also helpful to shine light into and through a dark coloured alpaca’s ear to locate the vein when taking DNA samples. Buy one for yourself and another for your vet - they will thank you.
It is great for mechanics, as being magnetic it sticks to the vehicle engine, and can be bent to provide light around corners.
It also has a laser light function which can act as a pointer when giving presentations, or to pin-point with the red laser light which alpaca in a herd is being referred to.
