Efata Knitters

We are excited to be able to offer the beautiful knitting of a group of talented ladies who are staff and friends of

Efata Ministries in Lima, Peru. Efata maintains a Christian school and orphanage for deaf children, as well as other church-based ministries. The Efata knitters' work is available exclusively here at Jersey Shore Alpacas, and prices reflect the fair-trade arrangement we have with these ladies. Currently, most of the items in stock are baby sweaters, booties, and hats, as well as some adorable sweaters for toddlers, too. All items are made from 100% baby alpaca and are hand washable. What a wonderful, natural way to "baby" your baby, and help support these ladies, too!

Check with us for more items arriving regularly. Most are one-of-a-kind, and we will gladly send photos of the latest.

Examples of Their Work

Each one of these pieces is a beautifully handmade design of exceptional craftsmanship. The yarn is 100% baby alpaca, which is incredibly soft and hypoallergenic for most people. These adorable sweaters, hats, and booties, make unique and treasured gifts for that special little one in your life!
