Alpacas are from the Andes Mountain ranges in Peru, Chile and Bolivia. The world famous Accoyo's are from Peru. Accoyo's are the product of a very specific breeding program that started in the 1940's. Accoyo alpacas, on average double that of the average alpaca.
They also have some of the best micron counts for their fiber. Westwool's Black Magic is 1/2 Accoyo and he is producing some stunning
show quality offspring. In our breeding program we are breeding the Accoyo genetics while incorporating the colors of the Chilean alpacas to obtain a beautiful herd of colored alpacas with amazing amounts of fiber. Alpaca associations we belong to are: Canadian Livestock Records Corporation, Canadian Llama and Alpaca Association, Alpaca Canada and AlpacaSeller.

It is a well known fact that the Peruvian alpacas are primarily white and the Chilean alpacas are a multitude of the 22 natural colors and have over 150 shades within those colors. Alpaca fiber is one of the softest in the world, second only to cashmere. Also it is one of the strongest and warmest fibers in the world.

Alpacas are sheared once per year producing several pounds (usually between 4 – 6 lbs. (1800 – 2700 grams on average) of fiber. Here at Devine West Ranch we sell alpacas, their raw fiber, rovings, batts, yarn, felt, and alpaca finished products. Including socks, gloves, mitts, hats, slippers, sweaters, skirts, purses, ponchos, ruanas, capes, coats, jackets, shawls, pashimas, rugs, bed spreads, blankets, teddy bears, stuffed animals, wall hangings, and toys.

Their extremely soft wool is usually around the 23 micron count. Shetland Sheep come in 11 natural colors (more than any other breed of sheep) and 30 distinctive markings. They produce approx. 3 - 5 pounds of Shetland wool per year.  Females do not grow horns and the males horns are quite unique. Unlike other breeds, Shetland's do not have to have their tails docked and their tails have a very distinctive fluke shape.

Spanish Goats are a rare, heritage breed of goat. Originating from Spain as a large (mature bucks weigh on average 250 lbs), strong, very hardy (ability to survive and thrive under adverse agroclimatic conditions with only limited management inputs), cashmere producing, fertile, parasite-resistant, and versatile, goat. Primarily a meat breed, the Spanish goat also has the ability to breed out of season and can therefore does can have kids more often then once per year.

Previously they were kept mainly for clearing brush and other undesirable plant species from pasture lands. Now with the escalating demand for goat meat and the expanding interest in cashmere production have focused attention on the Spanish goat. An average goat can produce 4 oz of cashmere per year.


We belong to the Canadian Cashmere Producers Association.
There are currently 15 member farms in Canada in 2007..
