New products are in with more planned.
We continue to (somewhat obsessively) think about products that will sell in your store and support your alpaca lifestyle. There are a couple-three good ones in the works but don't want to give those away yet until we have more progress.
Some new ideas for your alpaca store include these items NOW in stock:
Alpaca Watching Keychain
- a cute farm wisit souvenir, comes complete with a stainless metal ring.
We can also provide this Alpaca Watching item as a sticker, should we?
Curious Alpacas T-Shirt
- full line also includes tank top, ladies cut, sweatshirt, hoodie and even baby's onesie.
Bolivian Brushed 100% Fingerless Gloves
- for years we sold these wildly popular gloves in our retail store but could never get enough! Finally developed our own line of these popular gloves for your store.
It's been an interesting experience working with this small group (14 families) of artisans in Bolivia. No one speaks English. Months of back and forth with Google Translate to develop this one, but it worked :)
Thinking of mittens next, should we do it?
The new Alpaca Animal Hat is a thick and robust alpaca blend hand made by indigenous artisans in Ecuador. Already well received, we will continue to get as many as possible from this small group of artisans.
Debating adding a new color. What color(s) would you like?
Thank you for supporting Paula's custom embroidery and vinyl creations.
What else should she make for your store? Perhaps you have a item you wish we made?
Again on the "somewhat obsessed" theme... we're working on a new item, a Alpaca Lollipop! We suspect it will be a perfect farm visit gift or customer purchase item.
Current idea is Butterscotch and Caramel flavor options... or should we pick others?
Expect this item to be available this fall.
Other items are in the works too! More details as they become a reality.
We would LOVE to know what YOU think would be a good product to add!

FiberCall Event
We had a fun time recently on a 90 minute ZOOM call with about 150 alpaca folk, discussing alpaca fiber, marketing your farm and the FiberCall.
The FiberCall collection for the year will probably end July 31st as we have a pretty good buildup of fiber in all the mills we use. If you wish to participate please see the FiberCall page for all participation details.

Thank you for supporting our small business.
We hope your family stays safe, healthy and has a blessed ALPACA year!
