If so, all your questions will be answered at Adagio Mills this weekend as they open up their doors for the first time as part of Australian Alpaca Week between April 30 and May 8.
Adagio Mills managing director Nadine Hulme said the open day is a great way to showcase their products as well as support local manufacturing, employment and farming.
“We’ll have some alpacas here that people can say hello to and we’re also running tours,” she said.
“It’s the first time we’ve had tours for the public - we’ve only been in operation for one year and have been sharing our journey online but we recognise that not everyone is involved with social media.
“We want to share our story with people that haven’t had the chance to hear from us yet.”
Mrs Hulme said there has been plenty of interest in the event and places on the tours are filling up fast.
She said there will be plenty to see and learn about as visitors make their way through the mill.
“People will find out a little bit about why we’ve started an alpaca fibre mill in Orange and also how it operates,” she said.
“They will get to see what happens to the finish product as well.”
Free mill tours will take place at 11am, 1pm and 2pm on Saturday, May 7, at 1/58 Lords Place, Orange.
