I am excited about the "Alpaca Blanket Project". This is the first endeavor to produce commercially made 100% Alpaca blankets in the United States.  These blankets will be available about March 2009.

There is a very old and well known company producing these blankets for us. We have been raising these wonderful fiber animals for many years and are very excited about the advancement of our American raised Alpaca fiber industry. This is a great time to have Alpacas and be working with the advancement of the American Fiber Industry.

Many Alpaca items have been and are being imported from South America but I believe we need to support the American Alpaca Fiber Industry.  By buying only Alpaca products produced in the USA from Alpacas raised in USA we will be supporting our economy and making jobs for Americans.

You must remember you may be able to purchase Alpaca products produced in South America, China, or some other 3rd world country, but just think about the reasons the price can be less expensive even after the shipping half way around the world.  The workers in these countries are hardly paid a wage they can live. Also when you purchase USA made you are assured if it says 100% Alpaca you are getting 100% Alpaca. Under law this is the only way we can advertise the product as 100% Alpaca.  Other countries can label products as 100% Alpaca and only have to a percentage of Alpaca added to wool.

If you are having problems with being allergic to Alpaca consider where the product was produced.  Alpaca is the most hypo-allergenic natural fiber available. Alpacas are also very green animals.

THE BLANKETS HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE READY FOR PURCHASE!!
