Alpaca fiber is softer than cashmere, light weight and luxurious. Each fiber is hollow, giving it excellent insulation qualities.

Most of the garments we carry are made from our alpacas' fiber and others pooled together in North America and sent to to a small mill in New England for processing into gloves, scarves, hats, socks, blankets, totes and fabric. I also send raw fiber to a mill in Kansas for yarn and roving.

To make a purchase — We accept VISA and MASTERCARD.

Gift certificates are available. If you would like to visit us, just give us a call for an appointment. We are generally home but wouldn't want you to come out and find no one here. We would love to show you the wonderful alpaca garments we carry as well as show off our alpacas.

100% ALPACA KNITTED HATS FOR THE OLDER CHILD OR ADULT

$18.00 each

These hats are knitted in at least three natural colors: shades of browns; another is made up of dark brown, gray and beige; and then there is one with gray, white and beige. All have similar embroidery – much like the child's knitted hat with ear flaps. No two designs are the same. They are hand-washable and may be laid flat on a towel to dry.

HANDMADE FELTED HATS

$68.00 each

This is a winter project for me. The hats are made with alpaca fiber that we shear from our alpacas in the spring. I then hand card and spin the fiber into yarn. The yarn is then knitted into something that is suppose to be a hat, but resembles something that looks like more like a sack. The felting and shaping process turns it into a very warm and unique one-of-a-kind hat. My handmade felted hats either have a rolled or a flat brim. These hats have been permanently moth-proofed and may be washed like a fine sweater if they become soiled. I suggest blocking them on a 10-cup, Rubbermaid plastic container. That's what I use to shape the hats during and after the felting process.

Available in RED and BLACK.

THE M.A.S.H. CAP

ALPACA RUGS AND YARN

ALPACA RUG YARN — $0.35 per yard

Alpaca rug yarn is created by wrapping alpaca fiber around a jute core for added durability. Rug yarns are available in Light Rose Gray (left) and Dark Rose Gray.

The finished rug, shown below, is 4 feet by 5 feet and has 216, 4-foot woven strips or 288 yards of yarn. The finished price for this amount of yarn would be a little over $100. For additional strength, I recommend using an acrylic yarn for the warp.

A woven rug made from this yarn should give 20 years of wear according to the weaving company that makes this yarn for me. They say that they are still walking on the original rugs that were laid in front of their spinning machinery 29 years ago.

ALPACA HAND WOVEN RUGS – as priced

This Alpaca Rug is hand woven and measures 47 inches by 5 feet. Needle–felted alpacas trim the bottom edges of the rug. Alpaca fiber is wrapped around a jute core for many, many years of wear. The mill that makes this yarn has had the same alpaca rug runners down now for 20 years.

$225.00 each

One of a kind hand woven rug made by Sandy Binder using variegated alpaca rug yarn from fiber from her own herd. This rug measures nearly 4 feet in width and 5 feet in length. It is very durable and should last for years and years. 100% alpaca fiber is wrapped around a jute core for added years of durability.

$200.00 each

ALPACA TOTE

$75.00 each

This braided tote is made with alpaca yarn braided with colorful cotton strips of fabric. It is 14 inches tall and 20 inches wide. The base is 6 inches at its widest point.
