Fibre Testing
Since humans first walked our earth, natural animal fibres have provided warmth and protection required for survival. Through improvements in technology and practices, these fibres now also provide luxury, style and durability, yet still keep us warm and dry.
For those who breed and nurture the animals that produce this fibre, there is an understanding that normal commercial ways are not enough – there needs to be a sensitivity to how fibre is naturally produced as well as applying latest technology to measure and monitor in order to optimise this gift from nature.
Art of Fibre understands this. We are at the forefront of fibre analysis technology, but also intimately involved in the breeding and management of animals for fibre production. We understand producing natural animal fibre is an art, not just a commercial practise.

Genetic Focus Testing: SD Across Benchmark Update (June 2026)
Our June 2026 update to the ‘SD Across’ benchmark database is now available. Use this data to place your Genetic Focus test results into context by comparing your alpaca’s genetically influenced fibre uniformity against others based on age, fleece colour, and species.
Understanding Fibre Uniformity & Genetic Focus in Alpaca Fibre Analysis
This presentation explores the relationship between fibre diameter variation, SD across measurements, and fleece uniformity in alpaca fibre analysis. Learn how genetic focus can improve fibre consistency, quality, and processing performance.
