Products
Salem Alpacas is famous for our handmade alpaca duvets. Be sure to read about the production of these exquisite products on our Duvets Page.
Alpaca garments are non-allergenic, so they can be worn next to bare skin. The alpaca fibre is as soft as cashmere which makes luxurious wearables. These products are warmer than wool but lighter in weight, though this fibre is known for its durability.
We carry a large assortment of socks, sweaters, hats, gloves and scarves in many different styles and colours - something to suit everyone!
The most frequently asked question we receive is:
"Where does your product come from?"
We make alpaca fleece duvets, cat toys, felted hats, and thermal seat pads. Local ladies spin, knit, crochet and weave a variety of items. Some of our Canadian made products include socks, insoles and blankets.
We also support a Women's Co-operative in Peru. They supply us with: 100% alpaca knitted sweaters, scarves, hats, mitts, gloves, slippers, alpaca bears and woven blankets. They also machine make sweaters, blankets, and more.
