Delight your Valentine this year with a unique, useful gift.
Looking for something unique, useful and memorable for your special someone this Valentine's Day? We have some great ideas for you to consider at our store in Hayden.
If you are a knitter, we have a super cute free scarf pattern with hearts you can knit up for a one-of-a-kind gift that really says "I love you"! I just knit up a sample for you to see in our store and it only takes one skein of our luxurious Malabrigo 100 percent merino worsted weight yarn and can easily be completed by Valentine's Day.
If hats are more your style, we have some wonderful hat & beanie knitting projects for the man in your life which he will wear every time he heads out the door. If he's a football fan, we can help you match his favorite team colors for a unique hat and scarf set that shows off his team loyalty.
Not a knitter? No worries. We have wonderful Alpaca Scarves in a variety of colors and styles that are warm, yet lightweight and made directly for us by a small artisan shop in Peru.
Have your loved one say goodbye to cold feet with our new Alpacor socks. This will surely be a gift that will make those romantic winter walks fun, warm and enjoyable. These socks will keep on giving each day as your special someone slips into the silky smooth luxury of Alpaca Socks every morning and enjoys warm feet all day!
Oh, and be sure to come see and feel our unique stuffed Teddy Bears and Alpacas! Each one is handmade and has a unique personality. We're sure you will find them to be the softest, cutest and most cuddly furry gifts you can find anywhere. Hint: They make a great gift with a box of chocolates!
For the golfer in your life, we have a nice selection of classic Alpaca golf cardigans to make a day on the green fashionable and fun.

Give the gift of warmth
As the old saying goes, "Cold feet, warm heart," but when your feet get cold, it's hard to feel jolly this time of year. For most of my life, I’ve struggled with staying warm when the weather turns cold. I remember always wearing jackets growing up and still being constantly cold until about 11 years ago when I discovered Alpaca. This was life changing for me. Finally… I was warm! I was determined to introduce the wonders of alpaca fiber to others and we had just started raising alpacas for my daughter’s 4H project. I wanted everyone to experience the warmth of alpaca apparel, but it had to be high quality and reasonably priced. My husband suggested we launch a website and a few months later “AlpacaDirect.com” was born.
Knitting for those who serve our country
At Alpaca Direct, we are always looking for ways to give back to our community. I can not think of anyone more deserving than those who keep our country safe so we can enjoy our freedom.
Elderly people give us joy and wisdom
Last Saturday we loaded up our Alpaca socks, scarves, yarn and teddy bears from our store in Hayden to attend the Home and Garden show featured at the Garden Plaza independent living retirement center in Post Falls. Our host Beverly was very gracious to allow us to be part of this very special event. They have quite a facility for our elderly community members! The best way to describe it is a town within a town. It's much like the Hilton in that you have a top notch place to live with all the amenities (Post office, gym, spa, hair salon, restaurants, activities) which are located inside of the living center area. I noticed how the guests were part of a close knit community since they live within walking distance of their neighbors and do not have to bother going outside or driving. Spending the day with these folks brought back fond memories of times earlier in my life where I spent a large part of my time with the elderly.
