There's a conversation happening right now about where things come from — and where your money goes when you spend it. At SHED Chetwyn Farms, that conversation is one we've been having since the beginning.

We're a Canadian farm. We raise our alpacas in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The fibre that becomes your favourite wrap, your most-reached-for accessory, your softest throw — it starts here, on this land, with these animals. That's not a marketing line. It's just true.

And when we look beyond the farm for the design expertise and craft traditions that shape what we make, we look to Europe.

Canadian Through and Through

Supporting Canadian businesses has never felt more important. As trade tensions with the United States reshape how Canadians think about sourcing and spending, the choice to buy Canadian is increasingly an act of intention — a signal about the kind of economy you want to live in.

At SHED, that intention is baked in. Our farm is Canadian. Our fibre is Canadian. The people behind this business are Canadian. When you shop our alpaca yarn, our throws and blankets, our scarves and wraps, or our accessories — you're putting your dollars into a real Canadian farm, not a warehouse or a brand with opaque origins.

Five European Craft Traditions

We partner with designers and makers across five European countries, each bringing a distinct textile heritage to what we produce.

Britain contributes rigour — a tradition of building things that last, that improve with wear, that don't need to shout.

Ireland brings an intimacy with natural fibre and hand-finishing that mirrors everything we value about alpaca: honest, warm, made with care.

Belgium offers precision. Belgium's textile manufacturing heritage is among the finest in Europe — exacting standards, clean execution, materials that perform beautifully over time.

Scotland brings the soul of fine fibre craft. Few places in the world understand what a well-made wool or alpaca good can be — and Scottish makers hold that standard seriously.

France adds elegance and editorial sensibility — the understanding that trim, finish, and proportion are not decorative afterthoughts but essential expressions of quality.

These partnerships shape our accessories collection, our scarves and wraps, our home living range, and our luxury alpaca home goods.

And Peru — Where Alpaca Knowledge Runs Deepest

We'd be remiss not to mention our Peruvian artisan partners. The domestic alpaca originated in the Andes, and the craftspeople we work with carry generations of knowledge about this fibre — how it moves, how it felts, how it should be finished. Some of our most distinctive trimmed pieces and plush goods come from these partnerships, made by hand using techniques no machine can replicate.

Guilt-free luxury isn't a positioning statement for us. It's the outcome of knowing exactly where everything comes from — and being proud of every answer.

Why Provenance Is the Product

In a moment when Canadians are rethinking supply chains, reassessing trade relationships, and choosing more carefully where their money goes — provenance has become the product itself.

At SHED, we've always thought that knowing where something comes from makes it better to own. More meaningful to give. More honest to wear.
