5 out of 5 starsA very satisfying shopping experience. The shipping was prompt; the packaging very professional.
The sox are wonderful: soft and warm. Perfect for a New England's winter. Alpaca wool is something new to me. What a revelation. I will be looking for more items made of this wonderful wool.

A Heritage of Swiss Precision and Excellence Making Warm and Fuzzy Friends
Alpenwood Alpaca Farm resides in the beautiful Southern Minnesota prairies, on a piece of land that -famously- used to be wide open cornfields. Hans Trechsel, a Swiss native who moved to the area over 50 years ago planted hundreds of evergreen trees on this land. These trees stand strong and proud, to this day. His dream was to recreate the Alpine woodlands he so loved as a young boy, for himself and for his family and community to enjoy. His daughter, Laurie Trechsel, established Alpenwoods Alpaca farm to honor the legacy of this place, it's people and all of its creatures, great and small.
Alpenwood's mission is to provide the highest quality fleeces to the small but enthusiastically growing North American alpaca-goods market. We cooperate with other farmers, fleece-processors and knitters to produce absolutely gorgeous and uniquely functional garments, yarns, felting and spinning supplies. Alpaca fleece products are as beautiful as they are durable and ecologically sustainable. We are so proud to be a part of this community.
