Alpaca

Mukuti Stud Alpacas

Our main aim is to increase good herd stock in the country. Fleece and fibre are a bonus, which is very welcome to the craft as well as fashion industry

Helderstroom Alpacas

At Helderstroom we breed and raise alpacas. We also shear, card and hand spin the fibre into yarn, which is then hand knitted, woven or felted and made into a range of stylish, warm and unbelievably comfortable garments
