We just finished up our first batch of Hunter Orange Watch Caps and Alpaca Beanies!

They are back on the website and ready to ship.

We've just added more color options available in the Knit Hats listed above!

Our Stock Up Sale has ended, Thank you!

Historically the month of August has always been the hottest and one of the busiest here at NEAFP. During the dog days of summer we've started working through this year's fiber harvest and farms have begun ramping up their inventory for the fast approaching Fall and Winter sales season.

To jump start the Fall and hopefully bring us all a little break from the heat, we are excited to launch our annual Stock Up Sale!

Let's make this August NEAFP's sweatiest month yet!

STOCK UP SALE

FREE SHIPPING on Orders over $500
+
10% OFF Orders over $1000

We've begun doing small DYE runs of our unlined Alpaca Mittens to offer a bit more color. This first limited batch is available in "One Shade of (Slate) Grey". We've added 3 packs to the website at both Fiber and Wholesale pricing - check them out!

In preparation of our next big manufacturing wave we are cleaning up some odds and ends around the mill. There are two new closeouts added to the website!

We received a small batch of our Basketweave Infinity Scarves that were knit out of our Huacaya Alpaca Yarn instead of the usual Suri Alpaca Blend. They are beautiful and functional in every way but due to us not planning to carry this design in this yarn spec, we are closing them out.

This DK-Weight Yarn is perfectly fine and usable. We are listing it as a closeout due to the yarn getting too much agitation when it was being washed and finished. The extra agitation caused it to become a bit too fuzzy so we have winded it up into yarn balls and are closing it out.

Each Ball weighs approximately 3.5 oz with about 185 yards of yarn.

Spindle City Collection: The Granite Headband

We are happy to announce the latest addition to our Spindle City Collection: The Granite Headband. This blur like pixelated pattern was inspired by the granite bedrock that makes up Fall River, it's iconic granite mills, and much of the Narragansett Bay.

The Granite Headband is available and ready to ship!

NEAFP's office and mill will be closed for our annual Summer Vacation during the week of 4th of July.

We will be closed Friday July 1st through Friday July 8th and re-opening on Monday July 11th.

During this week we will not be processing orders so please get your time sensitive orders in before hand! All orders and support submitted during this week will be handled beginning Monday July 11th.

We hope you all have a safe and relaxing holiday and we look forward to hitting the ground running when we return!

It's been a few long days in the making but our upgraded website is now live and accepting orders!

All user accounts and order history have transferred over.

Right now there are a few odds and ends that need tweaking but 95% of the website is up and operational. If you notice something acting a little funny let us know about it and we will also be in the process of getting things up to 100%.

Register your Alpaca Store!

NEAFP will be launching an Alpaca Store Locator so people can find local farms and shops in their community that carry our U.S. Grown, U.S. Made Alpaca Products. Each year NEAFP receives 1,000's of inquiries from people across the country (and beyond) looking for our products at the retail level so this is a great way to promote your store and drive business to your doorstep.

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that our website will be going down on June 26th for scheduled maintenance and an upgrade.

The upgrade process should take 6 to 8 hours in total.

All user accounts will be transferring over to the new website, the only thing that may be lost is everyone's saved shopping carts.

To avoid any loss, we are encouraging everyone to checkout with their saved carts before June 26th.

Thank you!

The Spindle City Collection is:

• Made with Alpaca Fiber Grown on U.S. Farms
• Knit with Yarn Spun in a Century Old New England Mill
• Inspired, Designed, & Built in Fall River, Massachusetts
