Alpaca Socks with Montana ranched alpaca

This is one of the best finds we’ve come across here at Montana Sweater Co.  I wore these alpaca socks for three days, yes…even to bed.  As an avid fly fisher and guide I was amazed, first of all, at the softness and consistent warmth.  The other great discovery was  they did not become damp from perspiration (alpaca fibers are hollow and naturally repel moisture).

I gave them to friends to be field tested on hikes to Yellowstone Park, and a week long fly fishing trip on the Missouri.  The results — let’s put it this way, get your order in they are going fast!   A durable calf-length sock knitted with plush loops of Montana ranched alpaca on the interior.  75% Alpaca, 25% Elastic Nylon.

Bison Trails cabled scarf

At last,  our hand knit scarves are ready to show off.  We have created our most luxurious cabled knit scarf of Montana ranched and raised bison/alpaca in a 50/50 blend.  This elegant classic piece took over 16 hours to finish.  Next we knitted a plant-dyed Montana ranched and milled wool into a very soft and eye catching cabled scarf.  BUT, our star knitter needs to be free for other duties so we designed faux cable stitched scarves that could be knitted on our manual machines in soft alpaca/mohair (85%/15%) .
