Who Can Resist That Face?


Alpaca Duke

Owned by re-invented rat-race refuges, Thomas and Connie Betts, Cascade Alpacas breeds award-winning huacaya alpacas, many of which are hemiaccoyos, with championship bloodlines. "Duke" keeps company with a prestigious herd of show alpacas as well as those for breeding and for sale. And, you can arrange to hook up with them.

Featured Gear 

Alpaca socks
Made by Foothills Yarn & Fiber, from alpacas raised and sheared in Hood River, these are no ordinary socks. Heat reflecting copper fibers help keep your tootsies warm, and they can also relieve symptoms of stress and aging. Known for its many beneficial properties, copper perfectly enhances the warm luxurious softness of alpaca, made with no dyes or bleaches. Socks you can feel good about wearing, toe-to-toe.
