Joylen Alpacas

Joylen Alpacas is a small alpaca stud located among the green paddocks of southern New South Wales, Australia. The farm cares for a close-knit herd of Huacaya alpacas in a range of fleece colours, from white to fawn and dark brown. Alpacas are available for sale as pets or breeding stock, and the farm also offers surplus fleeces.

Joylen creates handcrafted knitwear and other items using fleece from its own alpacas. Each product is made by hand, from shearing through to the finished piece, and uses pure alpaca fibre without blended fleeces. The farm’s range focuses mainly on clothing for babies and children, with items for adults and larger projects available through special commissions. Products are made with natural materials, including wood or shell buttons, and can be traced to the individual alpaca whose fleece was used.

Joylen describes its fibre as fine, soft and lightweight, and its fleece as ethically and sustainably produced. Visitors can learn about the herd, product-making process and farm updates through the website.
