** ALPACA APPAREL!**
Now that we are in our 3rd year of bringing amazing alpaca products to you, (can you believe that?!) we are acquiring products from three different sources - all of which we still know whom and where things are coming from.
Two of our sources are fiber pools. Choice Alpaca and New England Alpaca Fiber Pool, pool fiber that is collected from all over the country and distributed to cottage mills to make products to be sold in our cottage stores. Look for the Made in the USA icon on these items. Some products are still from the fiber pools, but are imported from South America. I have included information about these products where available. Items imported, are hand selected by the owner of Choice Alpaca, himself. I've met the owners, I know that they go to South America to see the products being made and work with the local artisans and mills. I know that I am getting a quality product to pass on to my friends and customers. NEAFP has some products that are made in the USA, with imported yarn.
Our third source of amazing alpaca products is The Alpaca Guy, Wade Gease. Mr. Gease is "known for his involvement in the Alpaca Industry as a senior judge, product developer, Peru Ambassador and educator for over the past two decades. He is a seasoned consultant in the worldwide alpaca industry and wholesale supplier of high quality alpaca products." I have also met Mr. Gease in person; he goes to Peru and works with the family mills to design high quality alpaca products for his customers, American alpaca producers. I know without a doubt all products are high quality and are made ethically.
