Larry Designs emphasizes the importance of sourcing locally, and nearly all materials originate from within BC. Raw alpaca fleece travels from a ranch in the Cariboo to a spinning mill on Salt Spring Island, where the fiber is naturally processed and spun into yarn. Designer Terri Potratz hand knits all items, and finishing touches such as buttons are made locally as well.

We recognize that every step in our production process has an impact on the environment, therefore efforts are made to ensure the most natural methods are used in all steps of production:

Fiber is washed at the mill with a gentle detergent. Our mill does not use sulphuric acid to burn off stray bits of vegetable matter embedded within the fleece as most commercial mills do.Our yarns are not dyed, but instead retain the beautiful and natural colours of the alpaca animal.

We are proud to offer striking and original designs hand crafted with some of BC's most beautiful materials.
