I am very conscious that more and more consumers want to purchase products that are environmentally sustainable and I am committed to this practice. Llamas, by nature are low impact animals and our herd management, fibre collection and fibre cleaning practices ensure that we maintain the process.
For a more complete picture of why llamas, and Granite Haven Llama Fibre is an environmentally sustainable product, click on one of the headings below.
-
Llama fibre is sustainable because it is produced as a by-product of a natural environment and is harvested with minimal damage to that environment and the llamas that produce it. There is no petroleum consumed as a fibre substrate or energy input in its production.
-
Granite Haven llama fibre is hand-shorn , processed chemical free into easy to use rovings, or spun as 8 ply yarn.
-
A natural product, llama fibre is biodegradable, eliminating the ultimate disposal problem common to any synthetic fabric whether derived from recycled sources or directly from petroleum.
-
Because llama fibre does not require chemicals in processing or production, the industrial impact on the environment is minimal and assures sustainability.
