Little Valley Farm to showcase La Sierra Alpaca Knitwear and Living  

Wollombi Valley, NSW – [9 April 2025] – From a shared love of alpacas and textiles, Little Valley Farm is proud to announce its bringing a curated selection of ethically made alpaca knitwear and living to its boutique farmstay and online store thanks to La Sierra. 

Alpaca: A Sustainable Luxury

Naturally lightweight, breathable, and long-lasting, alpaca fibre is one of the world’s most sustainable materials. Beyond its everyday benefits, it contributes to a healthier planet, offering a natural, biodegradable, and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibres.

Why La Sierra?
Little Valley Farm has always made use of the fleece from their alpaca herd, but local production has often been slow and challenging. So when founders Euan and Daniela met Sophia, the creative force behind La Sierra, a brand that shares their values of ethical craftsmanship, sustainability, and slow living, the connection was instant.

La Sierra offers a direct link to Peruvian artisans, supporting community impact through education, fair wages, and improved living conditions. It’s more than just a brand—it’s a purpose-driven collaboration built on meaningful connections.

La Sierra was born from Sophia’s own journey to find something truly special: luxury with meaning. While travelling through South America, she discovered the unmatched softness of alpaca fibre and the remarkable artistry of Indigenous makers who have honed their craft over generations.

Inspired by timeless quality, sustainability, and a slower, more intentional lifestyle, Sophia set out to create beautiful, investment-worthy pieces that resonate deeply with those who wear them.

More than just knitwear, La Sierra represents conscious luxury—each piece tells a story, and you’ll feel that story every time you wrap yourself in it.

A New Level of Comfort at the Little Valley Summerhouse

From Autumn/Winter 2025, guests staying at the Little Valley summerhouse will be welcomed into a new level of warmth and luxury with the introduction of alpaca knitwear and living throughout the space.

To enhance the experience, the summerhouse now features a curated collection from La Sierra—including soft alpaca cushions, elegant bed throws, cosy beanies, and a one-of-a-kind handwoven Peruvian alpaca rug.

These natural, ethically sourced pieces bring an added layer of comfort and authenticity to the off-grid retreat, creating a tranquil haven where the beauty of alpacas can be felt in every fibre.

It’s alpaca luxury - redefined.

Alpaca Pure Duvets by Little Valley Farm

We are highly excited to say our very own Alpaca Duvets are ready for people to take home with them! 

For eight years, we have toyed with the idea; we've made prototypes and experimented with various samples and ways to professionally manufacture them at a cost-effective smaller scale. 

We have now done it to a standard far beyond our original expectations and equal to the best in the market.

For the last three months, our guests have enjoyed our very own "Alpaca Pure" duvets in our cabins - but now we have produced a wide range to sell via our webstore.

We only use 100% Alpaca fleece with a 100% Sateen Cotton casing. This makes the most beautiful Soft & Warm duvet we have ever experienced.

Take a look online & let us know your thoughts!

Little Valley Farm is based in the Lower Hunter Valley. We have been working and breeding alpacas for ten years.

Take a read on what Hunter Hunter has to say about our farm in Laguna.

Alpaca Suri Fleece available for sale

Shearing is done every October at Little Valley Farm. Fleece sorting is done randomly or when I get inspired to sort, spin and add it onto the website. It all takes time, and there is always a lot of beautiful fleece sort through.

So, where you can purchase our unprocessed fleece or handspun alpaca yarn? Jump on our website at @littlevalleyfarm.com.au or visit the stunning homeware and lifestyle shop in Laguna called @LagunaLuxe next to GNTP.


I have just added three saddles of fawn SURI fleece to the website so you can order online and we will post them to you. P&P charges will be added to the shop cart.

Click here to order online as the next lot of fleece won’t be available until October 2022 after shearing day.

Little Valley Farm is based in Laguna in the Wollombi Valley, Hunter Valley. We are only 90 minutes from Sydney but feels like a million miles away. To check availability for our couples only glamping experience contact Daniela via email.

Cleaning our alpaca fleece at Little Valley Farm

Super busy weekend cleaning our alpaca fleece before we sit down to start spinning it.

We have some raw fleece for you to get your paws on for felting or spinning. Sale from $25 per saddle and we will put it in the spinner for you.

If you’re starting out and you want to try Alpaca fleece for the very first time we have some (limited) saddles from $10.

Our Suri fleece has sold out. Currently available white and some brown Huacaya fleece. Pick up via appointment only. Watch the video below on how we clean our fleece before spinning.

I love using our spin cleaner! Email Daniela for more info or purchase the fleece online.
