Alpaca fleece in Australia
The Australian Alpaca Fleece company is owned by the alpaca growers and
controls most of the alpaca fleece clip in Australia which is currently
approximately sixty five tonnes and is projected to climb to over one
hundred tonnes by 2009.
After shearing, the alpaca fleece is sent to the Australian Alpaca Fleece
company where it is classed by quality, micron, colour and then washed
to remove grass and vegetable matter. The fleece is not carbonized with
harsh chemicals as alpaca fleece does not contain lanolin like sheep.
The alpaca fleece is then sold to the licenced strategic partners for
yarn spinning, knitting weaving and other manufacturers of alpaca products.
Kelly & Windsor Australia has had the licence with the Australian
Alpaca Fleece company for the manufacture of bedding products for over
five years. In this time our unique combination of leading technical,
process and design expertise in new innovations has established Kelly
& Windsor as world leaders in the creation of luxurious alpaca bedding.
Certified World class quality
The use of the Australian alpaca mark, is only available to authorized

The premium quality of Australian grown alpaca fleece is assured through
continuous quality reviews and the latest up to date breeding developments
through the Australian Alpaca Association which is internationally recognized
as having world class standards.
