About Woolly Alpaca Wonders
Woolly Alpaca Wonders, inspired by the stunning Wild Atlantic Way (where we’re based), is the realisation of the life long dream of Jacqui’s.
We’re looking forward to having you here!
About Jacqui, in her own words…
I moved to Ireland just two weeks before lockdown, and here I am, four years later, living my dream along the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way with my eight alpacas.
Having learned to crochet as a child, I’m thrilled to use their fleece to create all sorts of handmade treasures. They’ve also been my saviours during a significant time in my life, lifting my spirits and getting me outside each day.
I’ve always wanted to have alpacas, and this place couldn’t be more perfect! These wonderful animals not only bring joy to many but are also surprisingly easy to care for and offer meaningful ways to support my retirement fund. Watch this space.
Meet the Stars of the Show
Bella and Grace: The Alpaca Sisters
Meet Bella, a little over 3 years old, and her younger sister, Grace, who’s nearly 18 months. The two alpaca sisters bring charm and character to every trek! Bella, the “big sister,” has a bit of a diva streak—she’s not too fond of being fussed over but transforms into a confident leader as soon as her harness is on and walks with pride.
Grace, the younger sibling, is a bit more relaxed about handling and doesn’t mind the attention as much, but she’d never want to be anywhere without Bella by her side. She’s Bella’s little shadow, always following close behind. Together, they make the ideal pair, with elegance, fun, and sisterly love on every trek.
Joey: The Shy Star of the Herd
Joey joined the herd in May 2023, and he’s quickly become the special little one everyone dotes on. Extremely timid, he’s rarely seen far from his mum, Darcy, following her every step like her little shadow. Joey’s fleece is something special too—soft, thick, and admired by everyone who sees it.
He’s the baby brother of Audrey and shares a particularly close bond with Sid, along with the love and protection of his other siblings. Joey may be shy, but he’s got a warm spot in the hearts of his whole alpaca family!
Sid: The Curious Rascal of the Herd
Sid, just a few days younger than Joey, is the most curious—and sometimes the cheekiest—of the alpaca bunch! With incredible fleece and a bold personality, Sid is already expected to sire some fantastic crias in the future. Although his mum, Simitar, left him to find his own way early on, Sid has thrived and shows no signs of being held back.
He’s almost halter-trained but still has a bit of that playful streak, keeping everyone on their toes. Sid’s curiosity and resilience make him a lovable rascal that we all adore!
