Dance with an Alpaca today!
If you appreciate soft, luxurious quality clothing, artistry in design, and practical
wearability, you will enjoy waltzing with garments made from alpaca
fleece.
Or if
your passions tap dance when creating something
with your own hands, using natural colors and textures, alpacas
can enthuse you here, too.
Besides the fleece to fashion concept, alpacas are environmentally
friendly, too. They lack the natural body oils produced by most
animals. During processing, other fibers are often washed with chemicals
or harsh soap to get the oils out. This can make wearing traditional
sheep’s
wool unbearable for some people.
Alpaca
fleece is a natural solution! So natural, in fact, that we participated in a March 2008 day of fun and education, aptly named Alpacas & Everything Organic.
Plan a vist to one of our working ranches. At Alpacas
of Cusco North in the Santa
Ynez Wine Country (just north of Santa Barbara), you will see the
full circle of alpaca fleece, from freshly sheared to carded batts
and rovings, hand-spun yarn, and commercial yarns and fashion garments
and accessories. And meet some alpacas, too!
Or nestled in the foothills immediately south of Santa Barbara,
Canzelle
Alpacas awaits your visit to their blue-ribbon champions. Please
call either of these ranches ahead to calendar your visit.
