Naturally soft, rustic yarn grown and spun in small batches.

Hinterland Farm is an alpaca and llama sanctuary located on S,DÁYES, traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ people (Pender Island, BC). Founded and run by Hanahlie Beise, Hinterland produces small-batch, rustic yarns that incorporate home-grown fibre with Rambouillet, alpaca, and sheep fibre from other farms in the region.

Though the original intention was to begin with sheep, the farm serendipitously started with six alpacas from a retirement sale. Since then, the herd has expanded through rescue animals that are either in crisis or have been surrendered to the SPCA.
