Alpaca Research Rug a Magic Carpet?

We're pretty excited at the response the Research Rug program has had in the alpaca world!

Started as a colmination of ideas wanting to support a local alpaca veterinarian college and promote alpaca fiber, the Research Rug is now a nationally known endevour which continues to grow.

There are currently about 1000 pounds of alpaca fiber at a small mill in Texas. This fiber will be turned into beautiful floor rugs or wall tapestries. We couldn't be happier!

At present we have lots of fiber. The mill is full-up. We would encourage you to consider purchasing a rug for your home, farm store or public event. They come with a great story so make an excellent conversation piece!
