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.

Alpaca is the world's most luxurious fibre: warmer and softer than lambs’ wool, more hard-wearing and more exclusive than cashmere. Welcome to the world of alpaca - the most eco-friendly animal fibre on the planet.

Visitors by appointment, please. Or, take a virtual tour in our picture galleries.

Products In our workshop we clean, card and handspin the fibre in the traditional way and display a range of beautifully hand knitted items for sale, made by Villiersdorp women. More

Info and Links Rare, extremely fine fibres, such as silk or cashmere, are favourites in the luxury market. But alpaca is being re-discovered, and is starting to command the top slot of all. More
