From high fashion to practical outdoor gear, alpaca products are making their mark. Our focus is to provide high quality extremely warm Canadian and Peruvian made alpaca products suited to our Canadian climate. We selected our business name, Alpaca Tracks T(h)read Lightly as we are aiming to produce a high quality product in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. We are utilizing home grown alpaca fibre as well as incorporating traditional local skills and knowledge in the production of our end product from rovings and yarn to duvets. We also import fair-trade items from Peru with the intent of keeping the wealth of traditional Peruvian artisan knowledge and practises alive. Our goal is to move people away from “fast fashion”, a mass produced highly disposable product.
