Auravale Alpacas

Auravale Alpacas We utilise the most advanced breeding/fibre production technologiess available, this includes SRS.

Auravale is an established and progressive alpaca, llama and miniature donkey stud located in the picturesque Dandenong Ranges just 45 minutes from the city of Melbourne Our aim is to breed alpacas with a gentle temperament, strong straight bodies and a silky soft lustrous fleece, exhibiting long thin staples and deep bold crimp. This combined with visual measurements and detailed herd analysis, including shearing, nutrition, reproduction and health management is enabling to fine tune selection and achieve rapid improvement. We also run a small herd of American Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys, these adorable donkeys provide hours a fun and are occasionally available for sale.

FUN FACT FRIDAY! 😉

Why alpaca fibre is less prickly than sheep’s wool. 🤓

👉 Alpaca fibre has very smooth handle. This is partly due to the scale structure (or cuticles) of the fibres that protrude less from the fibre shalt than those of sheep. This means that the fibre feels less prickly when wearing!

Compare each of the fibre types shown in the illustration… Polyester fibres and silk are super smooth (towards the right) while on the left you can see that coarse wool fibres have very prominent scales protruding from the surface of the fibre. Finer wool, although it has a smaller diameter fibre, still has much more prominent scales than alpaca or cashmere. On this photo, I think alpaca looks smoother than cashmere…?

Anyway, now you know why many people who can’t wear wool can wear cashmere or alpaca. I’m one of them! (Lanolin is another part of the story…but we’ll save that for another day…)
