    What makes alpaca fiber from Montana ranches unique?

    Alpaca fiber from Montana ranches, like Sentinel Ranch Alpacas, is unique due to the pristine environment and careful breeding practices that ensure high-quality, soft, and durable fibers. The cool Montana climate contributes to the development of alpacas with thicker, more luxurious fleece.

    How do I care for my alpaca fabric product?

    Alpaca fabric should be cared for gently to preserve its natural beauty and softness. Hand wash or dry clean is recommended, depending on the product. Avoid high heat and do not tumble dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fiber integrity.

    Is alpaca fabric hypoallergenic?

    Yes, alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Unlike sheep's wool, alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, which is often a cause of allergic reactions.

    What types of products can I buy made from alpaca fiber?

    You can buy a wide range of products made from alpaca fiber, including sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, blankets, and socks. Each product showcases the fiber's natural warmth, softness, and durability.

    How does buying alpaca products support the local economy and environment?

    Purchasing alpaca products from local Montana ranches supports the regional economy and promotes sustainable farming practices. Alpacas are environmentally friendly animals, requiring less food and water than other livestock, and their soft feet minimize pasture damage.

    Can I visit the ranch to see the alpacas and production process?

    Many ranches welcome visits by appointment, allowing you to see the alpacas and learn about the shearing, processing, and hand weaving processes firsthand. It's an excellent opportunity to experience the care and tradition that goes into each product.

      Took my whole family here, and needless to say it was a blast for the kids. We also got their hoodies, and multiple pairs of socks for my wife and daughter! Great quality, super soft.
