At present 85% of all alpacas in the world are white ... a result of positive white breeding. At Nero Black Alpaca we are passionate about reviving and strengthening the numbers of top quality black alpacas. Our aim is to breed a superior herd of black alpacas, to rival the lighter coloured herds. We have carefully selected breeding females and use the best black sires available in the UK today. We also create top quality British Alpaca garments with modern fashion designs.

our alpaca herd
Our alpacas

Nero Black Alpaca is a family run business based on small farm just outside Hexham in Northumberland.

We have very quickly become passionate about breeding black alpacas of high quality and in just a few years have built up a herd of happy and very healthy animals.

We love showing our animals in national and more local shows and, for such a niche breeder, have had some outstanding success.

We welcome visitors to our farm so we can share our knowledge and experiences. If you are interested in finding out more about alpaca ownership, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Tel: 07984 458869

Being a very focussed, select breeder, we don’t have lots of animals for sale. However we are very happy to offer help and advice on Alpacas – particularly if it is black animals you are interested in.

However as we wish to remain small and specialist each year we will have a limited number of alpacas for sale, including pregnant females, as well as breeding and non-breeding males.

If you would like to explore alpaca ownership, please do not hesitate to contact us. A friendly welcome awaits newcomers and established breeders alike. We always recommend that you visit us to see the quality animals we breed here.

In addition to using fleeces from our own black herd, we also buy quality white fleeces from other top breeders. We carefully blend them to produce grey yarns as well as the natural black and ivory. From these we create locally hand knitted accessories that are exclusively designed for us.

We offer a wide range of individual and fashionable designs, from slumber socks to evening wear. There is something for everyone. Our collections include timeless classics and up to the minute fashions. Cosy scarves, elegant neckwarmers, and stylish beanie hats.

Why not treat yourself, or someone special in your life, to a little pure British luxury!
