Moonshine Hand Paints | Alpaca and Alpaca Blends Yarn | Fancy Yarn Australia

Looking for alpaca wool in Australia that’s soft, stunning and responsibly sourced?

Moonshine Hand Paints is a worsted weight (10ply) luxury yarn made from 40% baby alpaca, 40% non-mulesing wool and 20% silk, hand-painted in Peru for luminous colour and unparalleled softness. With approximately 180 metres per 100g skein, this yarn blends loft, bounce and drape for projects that feel as beautiful as they look.

Whether you’re knitting a silky-soft shawl, crocheting a statement jumper or adding a painterly touch to your accessories, Moonshine Hand Paints is where fibre indulgence meets ethical elegance.

If you’ve been searching for where to buy alpaca wool in Australia that’s soft, breathable and mulesing-free, this one’s for you.

A Yarn with a Story

Moonshine Hand Paints brings together three natural fibres: baby alpaca for softness and warmth, mulesing-free wool for strength and structure and organic silk for a delicate, light-catching sheen.

Each skein is hand-painted in Peru, with colours that shift subtly from shade to shade, creating one-of-a-kind effects in every stitch. The result is a luxurious yarn that’s as enjoyable to work with as it is to wear, breathable, soft and gently shimmering.

Certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and the Alpaca Blend Mark, Moonshine Hand Paints reflects high-quality craftsmanship and a commitment to animal welfare.
