Dress warmly! Wear alpaca!
Now that winter is officially here, are you looking for ways to stay warm? Alpaca fiber is warmer than wool yet lighter in weight. It’s naturally lanolin free and does not feel prickly against your skin with a softness that’s comparable to cashmere. Plus, people who are sensitive to wool can usually wear alpaca!
Alpaca fiber is used for many cold-weather products like luxuriously soft scarves, gloves, mittens, hats and the most comfortable socks and slippers you could ever put on your feet!
So come on out to Windrush Alpacas on Saturday, January 14, 2012 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for our monthly Open Farm Day Event and Farm Store Shopping Experience. Learn first-hand about alpacas, how they live, and how we harvest their lovely fleece to use in products to keep people warm. Of course we welcome you to browse our Farm Store and the multitude of other merchandize we offer — rugs, toys, household items, and accessories — and sip on some special Alpaca Themed coffee.
This is an experience that can be enjoyed by your entire family… from toddlers to great-grandparents!
We always offer free admission, free parking and free refreshments.

Twelve Finger Puppets
Give someone their own little herd of alpaca! These darling little alpaca-shaped finger puppets are great fun to play with and a great stocking stuffer for the kids (or even the big kids who love alpacas). And because they are reasonable; you really could give 12 without breaking the bank! (Not suitable for children under 3.)

Eleven Catnip Cat Toys
Cat owners know they will be in big trouble if they don’t buy a gift for their feline friend! Cats LOVE alpaca and will toss this felted alpaca ball around with great joy. The alpaca is felted over a plastic ball containing a bell that makes it jingle and holds your cat’s attention. But we are not finished yet – to make this an even better treat for your cat, the felted alpaca ball comes with a bag of organic catnip to roll the felted ball in. Stand back and watch cat euphoria!

Ten Pairs of Mittens
No one likes to have cold hands – alpaca mittens will keep your hands toasty warm! Just like the alpaca socks, there is no waiting for the fabric of alpaca gloves to warm up. As soon as you put them on they are warm and soft against your hands. Double layer reversible gloves, mittens or fingerless gloves (we like to call those “texting gloves”) the choice is yours!
(You may not want to give ten pairs of gloves to the same person as in the song but alpaca products do make wonderful gifts. Please bear in mind we are a small farm store and quantities of some items may be limited.)

Nine Puppy Pillows
Let’s not forget our faithful friends – dogs love alpacas (and cats do too!). These pet beds are filled with alpaca fleece to give your pampered pet the height of luxury to sleep on. Alpaca makes great, comfortable bedding for all pets. Plus, for the elder pets in our lives the alpaca stuffing is soothing to those aching joints. (We’ve even had some pet owners steal their pets’ alpaca bed for their own use!) The beds feature a removable cover so that the bed can be kept clean and fresh. Pets love gifts too – treat your pet to Pampered Puppy Pillow today.

Six Rudi Pacas
We love Rudi Paca! He is so very cute and cuddly and looks so festive in his little alpaca chullo hat. A great gift for children, the Rudi Pacas are made from acrylic fiber for ease of care. Watch out too for our Paca Buddies toy alpacas due to arrive at the farm store any day now – be warned they are super cute and you will want one! (Rudi Paca without the hat is suitable for children 18 months and older.)
(You may not want to give six Rudi Pacas to one person as in the song, but you can give them to six different people! Please bear in mind we are a small farm store and quantities of some items may be limited.)
