SPEECHLESS FRIENDS GARMENTS & YARN
Llamas and Alpacas were domesticated by the native South Americans 6300 years ago. The gentle, curious and charming personality of these animals inspired the natives to call them SPEECHLESS FRIENDS, a name we have adopted for our Llama and Alpaca Garments and Yarn.
Llamas and Alpacas produce one of the finest natural fibres - lightweight, soft, insulating and strong. With proper care, products made from Llama and Alpaca fibre will bring you years of enjoyment.

22 NATURAL COLOURS
There are twenty-two natural colours of llama and alpaca fibre.
Blending of these colors varies from year to year, making each garment colour relatively unique.

VESTS, SOCKS, TOQUES, YARN AND FLEECE - ALL UNIQUE - ALL HIGH QUALITY. Llama and alpaca fleeces (the coats that are sheared from the animals) are relatively scarce. We have chosen to maintain a relatively small volume of production. Each vest, toque and sweater is individually made by one of our seamstresses. The yarn that we produce comes from our own animals' fleeces, each of whom we shear ourselves, and whose fleece we clean by hand. As a result, we can say with confidence that our garments and yarn are very high quality, and very unique.

SOCKS - DRY AND WARM
These are one of the very best socks for outdoor sports and recreation, winter and summer.
For the most part, everyone can keep their feet dry from the outside, but what about the moisture that comes
from the inside by perspiration. These socks solve that problem by an amazing ability to wick perspiration away,
and that means warm feet. As well, even if these socks do get wet from the outside, they are still warm.
"No other socks keep my feet as warm and dry. I was cold - except for my feet" - Gaila Eddie, canoeing, spring 2002.
These socks are also very comfortable for indoor use.
Machine knitted. 95% alpaca yarn. 5% nylon/spandex.
Colors: brown, fawn, grey, and white.
