Your online source for the highest quality alpaca products, a visit to A Simpler Time Store, will take you back in time, to an era when the pace of life was slower and people savored the process of making family treasures themselves.

If you saw something in our store but did not see it on our website, call us for availability.

We are a family owned and operated business in the outskirts of San Diego. Many of our alpaca yarns and alpaca rovings are made in our fiber mill from our own alpacas. There is an array of natural colors as well as a variety of hand dyed and hand painted yarns to choose from. We are suppliers for Schacht Spindle Company,  Jacquard acid dyes, Bosch mixers and NutriMill grain mills.

Life is often moving too fast and we would like to encourage you to slow down and enjoy each moment. Come on in, look around and select your simple pleasures from our hand to yours.
