Jessie’s Gigolos 108 – Jessie is one of our older girls but her fibre is still soft enough
for sock yarn. We combined her clip with that of some of her “boyfriends”. This cream sock yarn is a little
finer than our usual sock yarns but definitely in the range of “normal” for sock weight at 400yds and 100 grams. Call (613) 395-6406 or email marj@amazinggrazealpacas.ca |

and Steven refuses to learn so we’ve retained the services of some talented local artisans to help out.

some with cables. All handknit items are made with Amazing Graze Alpaca yarns. |

There is no wool in these socks just alpaca fibre and 15-20% nylon. Alpaca socks are a wonderful
way to experience some of the unique joys of alpaca fibre – softness, moisture wicking, warmth
retention. |

Terry $35.00 - these are my personal favourite - terry loops fill the entire sock, toe to cuff, for the warmest, most comfortable outdoors sock possible. Casual $30.00 - a little lighter than the terry sock above, these have plainly knit leg with a terry insole for cushioning. |

Return |
Cable SOLD OUT - no cushion soles in these but a lighter weight sock more suited to a dress shoe and having more visual interest with cable pattern on the foot and leg. Slipper/Ankle $28.00 - these are new for us and have proven to be a big hit. They’re styled the same as the Terry socks but stop just above the ankle. Ideal bed socks for any one with perpetually cold feet. Call (613) 395-6406 or email marj@amazinggrazealpacas.ca |
