Our Alpaca Gift Shop features products made from alpaca fiber. Most famous are the alpaca socks which could have some of QCAR alpaca fiber in them as we contribute our alpaca fiber to the NEAFP along with other American Alpaca Farms and they use the alpaca fiber to make the socks we sell.
Alpaca fleece, alpaca roving, alpaca blends, alpaca yarn. Alpaca hats, alpaca scarves and more can be found in the Alpaca Gift Shop at Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch. Most of our items are made in the USA.
We contribute our alpaca’s fiber to the NEAFP (New England Alpaca Fiber Pool) and to the Pennsylvania Yarn Project sponsored by PAOBA (PA Owners and Breeders Association) and some of our alpaca fiber is sent to family owned mini mills to process into yarn, roving and rug yarn.
Some of Quarry Critters Alpaca fibers are hand processed by Julie. Julie uses the Kromski spinning wheel and rigid heddle looms that are sold in our gift shop and online. Kromski is a family in Poland that makes these very nice fiber equipment. Julie processes our wonderful alpaca fibers into luxurious wearable apparel, such as hats/beanies, mitts and scarves.
Some items sold in the alpaca shop come from Peru. Peru is home to the original alpacas, before they were imported to the USA. We show our support by purchasing some items from American family businesses with contacts in Peru. The blush alpaca stuffies come from Peru, as well as some of our scarves of quality, hats, gloves and some socks.
