As many of our loyal customers already know, alpaca
clothing makes the perfect gift for your loved ones at this special time of year. Socks, scarves, sweaters,

and will be a treasured gift for many years to come.
Wearing alpaca is also the eco-friendly thing to do! Alpacas are not harmed when their
fleece is harvested, and unlike cotton, no insecticides or chemicals are used in the production process. Alpacas
are the most environmentally-friendly of all agricultural grazing animals – they live lightly on the earth.

Alpaca Facts
Alpacas were first imported to the United States from South America
in 1984. Alpacas are now flourishing throughout North America
and abroad. - Alpacas are raised for their soft fleece,
which is sheared once a year and yields 5 - 10 pounds.
There
are two types of alpacas -- the Huacaya and the Suri. The
lifespan of the alpaca is about 20 years and gestation is 11.5 months. Alpacas eat grasses and chew a cud. Alpaca feet
are padded so they are easy on the terrain. - They require minimal
fencing and can be pastured at 5-7 per acre, depending on available forage.
