The popularity of alpacas in the U.S. has grown steadily over the last few years. These curious animals offer a lifestyle and an investment potential that is physically healthy and financially rewarding. Artisans are drawn to the fiber and a renewed interest in spinning yarn and creating garments from alpaca fiber is sweeping the country.
Items made from alpaca yarn are warm, lustrous and colorful.
Coming to the U.S. only 15 years ago, alpacas are one of the newest breeds of livestock to inhabit our country. If you like being on the cutting edge, alpaca ownership is for you. Although alpaca husbandry is centuries old, alpaca history is being made in North America today. Alpacas require minimum care, but their presence encourages you to get out and walk among them. As you walk and breathe, you'll find yourself laughing at their antics, relaxing, and feeling good at the end of the day.
