There's a question we've been hearing more often lately, from customers at the farm gate, in our inbox, and in the comments on our posts: "Is this made in Canada?"

For our core farm products — our socks, yarn, insoles, and dryer balls — the answer is yes. We also collaborate with international designers and artisans whose craft aligns with our values. But the heart of what we make? That starts and ends in Canada.

From Our Farm, to Your Hands

Chetwyn Farms sits on a quiet stretch of Prince Edward County — alpaca country, as we like to think of it. Our herd grazes here year-round, and when shearing season comes, the fleece they produce begins a journey that stays almost entirely within Canada.

Our alpaca socks — the Technical, the Terry, the Wellington, the Trekker — are crafted in Quebec from fibre raised right here on our farm. Our alpaca yarn is small-batch and farm-spun. Our felted insoles and dryer balls are made from fleece that doesn't suit yarn — nothing from our herd goes to waste.

No imports. No tariffs. No supply chain that crosses a border.

Why It Matters Now

We're not going to pretend the current trade climate isn't on everyone's mind. When we talk to customers about choosing Canadian-made goods, the conversation has shifted. It used to be about values — sustainability, supporting local, knowing your maker. Now it's also about economics. Tariffs on imported goods are real, and they have consequences for what things cost and where money flows.

We've always made things here because it's the right way to do it. The fibre is here. The craft is here. The land that sustains our herd is here. But we'd be less than honest if we didn't acknowledge that right now, buying Canadian is also simply smart.

What "Made in Canada" Means at Chetwyn Farms

It means the alpaca who produced the fibre has a name. (Invictus was born on the farm while Canadian Invictus athletes were staying with us. Chester is one of our most easy-going.) It means the person who sheared that fleece knows our herd. It means the sock on your foot began as fleece on an animal that grazes in Prince Edward County.

That's a short, traceable, accountable supply chain. In a world where "made in Canada" can sometimes be a loose claim, we can account for every step.

What You're Supporting

When you buy from Chetwyn Farms, you're supporting a working farm in rural Ontario. You're supporting small-batch Canadian textile production. You're keeping craft and agriculture connected in a way that's increasingly rare.

We also partner with carefully selected international designers and makers whose work reflects the same values of quality and craft. When a product comes from beyond our farm, we'll always tell you.

And you're getting a genuinely better product — alpaca fibre outperforms wool, cotton, and synthetics in warmth, moisture management, durability, and softness. The Canadian-made story is a bonus. The quality is the point.
