We make a very special and exclusive range of vintage style baby clothes called ALPACA ANGELS in the finest alpaca wool. Baby and young alpaca fleece  spins into delightfully soft, silky baby wool  with a beautiful sheen. Once knitted into delicate little garments based on vintage styles, they make an unforgettable gift for that precious new arrival or a unique christening present . These are based on patterns which are part of my collection of over a thousand covering late Victorian to 1970s.
Each tiny garment is hand knitted by myself, and is entirely unique. Each fleece being as individual as its former wearer. Photos and information about alpaca wool and how to wash and care for your garment will be sent with each order.
We also now make a delightful range of hand knitted baby clothes in pure wools, including cashmere with (or without )vintage angora trim from bonnets, bootees, dresses and matinee coats to rompers and buster suits! We are always updating our site - there will be more baby clothes, many more buttons, and lots and lots more patterns to come!

It is easy to convert modern yarns to match the old patterns, by making a tension square.
It is always a good idea to knit with old pre-decimal needles when working from these old patterns as the decimal ones were a slightly different size. (early decimals were slightly different too!) If you need a conversion chart, or to convert to US sizes we shall have a chart on the NEEDLE AND ACCESSORIES page coming very soon! We shall have a supply very shortly including lovely old plastic ones, so easy on the hands! Extra long to extra short! In the mean time if you require old needles email or give me call to see what I have.
