British Alpaca
Ally Bee British alpaca yarn is spun for the collection from the fleece of grass-fed alpacas grazed on smallholdings in the south of England. Alpacas are a low-impact ruminant grazer and do not break up the soil like other livestock grazers. Alpacas are reared to high standards of UK and EU animal welfare and are sheared each Spring for the wellbeing of this domesticated animal. Ally Bee alpaca yarns are made from best quality fleece spun in a small spinning mill in Dorset in natural.
Manufacturing & Fair Labour
This Ally Bee item is crafted in a small, well-respected factory in Hawick in the Scottish Borders, in a region renowned for long-established artisanal knitwear manufacturing techniques. The process involves setting up manually operated hand-frame knitwear machines, a short washing process and skilful finishing. While no factory audits are carried out by Ally Bee, our long-standing working relationship with the factory, consistently high quality work and lack of employee churn speaks volumes about the favourable work conditions and employment standards.
Dyeing
Ally Bee is committed to spinning a sustainable yarn and the yarn in this item is completely dye-free. As a result, these colours are free of chlorine bleach, are acrylic-free.
