Founded by Linda Gagné and Jean Rousseau, Alpagaselect is a family business in Lévis that processes the fibre from alpacas that it raises itself. More than just a farm, it’s an artisan workshop where every step matters. All the fibre harvested during the annual shearing is used to create carefully crafted knitted or felted products.

The company places great importance on quality, both in breeding and processing. Rigorous herd management produces fibre that meets high standards. This attention to detail is reflected in durable, well-designed items that are made for everyday use. For certain products, such as socks, Alpagaselect collaborates with specialized Québec companies, underscoring its commitment to local expertise.

By ensuring a direct link between breeding, fibre processing and the finished product, Alpagaselect offers a simple, consistent approach. The company’s operations take a respectful approach to nature, animals and people, while offering a perfect example of a proud local business. 

Alpagaselect products have earned the Manufactured in Québec certification mark as part of a partnership between the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec and Les Produits du Québec, launched in December 2024.
