I have been working on the idea of an alpaca based product for Valentines Day for some time and today we "launched " the idea unto an unsuspecting press. So read on, here is what was sent to almost 2000 "lifestyle journalists".

A Unique and Exclusive, Hand Crafted, All Natural Valentines Gift

For the first time ever you can adopt a beautiful American alpaca and for each of the next three years the alpaca fleece from your adopted alpaca will be spun into a beautiful soft yarn. Then one of our talented fibre artists will transform that yarn into a “one of a kind” alpaca garments just for you.

After shearing each summer your valentine will be sent pictures of the adopted alpaca, together with a sample of the exquisite alpaca fleece and yarn.

They can then select a design of their choice or simply send an image of a knitted garment which they would like made.

One of our fibre artists will hand knit the garment of their choice using the yarn produced from their very own alpaca fleece.

Their adopted alpaca will be fully cared for at all times by experienced alpaca farmers. The alpacas are resident in Southern Oregon so you can even call by and say hello.

Alpacas
Alpacas produce one of the world's finest and most luxurious natural fibers. It is clipped from the animal without causing it injury. Soft as cashmere and warmer, lighter and stronger than wool, it comes in more colors than any other fiber producing animal (approximately 22 basic colors with many variations and blends).This cashmere-like fleece, once reserved for Incan royalty, is now grown in North America and is much sought after.
