Style Trip: Amazing Fibers from the Alpacas of the Southwest


During the spring break, I got a chance to visit the Alpacas of the Southwest ranch in Kingman, Arizona by the old Route 66. The ranch provides an education tour for visitors. I’ve learned a lot about both animals at the ranch and fibers of alpacas, and operation of the ranch, as well getting some shopping done.

First, let’s take a look at their little store for all products made of alpaca fibers.

Scarves in different colors and socks that are good keeping you cozy at night







The short sports socks they sell here are unbelievably soft and smooth like cashmere. It’s an 
essential if you have cold feet problem; I wear these socks to bed every night, and these socks keep my feet warm without suffocating them as a lot of other socks made of wool and cotton do.

Wrap yourself with those large blankets for a cold night by an outdoor fire pit at the beach




Head wraps, beanies, and knitwear for babies

Cardigans for adults


100% alpaca hand loomed rugs made of fibers from alpacas of 5 different colors at this ranch

A favorite of knitting enthusiast: Yarn from an alpaca at the ranch named Lilac blended with 10% of silk.

Now go get some toasty alpaca blankets and socks for the cold nights, and get ready for cool swimwear during the daytime at the beach!
