Natural Feet Warmers, Made in the U.S.
Warm feet, warm feet, warm feet. It's that simple.

I love your Snuggly Toes. I can't remember the last time I was out shoveling snow and my feet weren't freezing. This year that never happened.

-Arlene

Snuggly Toes alpaca feet warmers will keep your feet warm all winter. The alpaca fiber makes these feet warmers so warm. The processing makes them incredibly durable. The alpaca fiber is spun into yarn, knit into a blanket, then felted into fabric. Here's the whole process. You slip the feet warmers into any shoe, boot or slipper. The Snuggly Toes feet warmers will last all winter.

When I grew up in suburbia, I never imagined being a farmer. The closest I got to livestock was driving by cows on the highway. I've always loved animals though.


After graduating from the University of Puget Sound, I got into news. I worked at MSNBC for nearly five years before ditching corporate life. Selling the house was easy (this was in 2001), and getting rid of all my stuff wasn't so bad. Hitting the road with my dog, Grace, and two cats, Spring and Autumn, was an absolute blast.


I traveled the country in a travel trailer for four years, visiting Alaska, California, Washington, Maine and Georgia. I wanted to find something, someone, or some place amazing.


The something turned out to be alpacas. One visit to Jefferson Farms Alpacas and Llamas was all it took. It was a rainy, mucky day when Jane Levene took me to the barn to feed the girls. Suddenly these fuzzy, long necked creatures were staring me in the face looking for treats. I was in love.


The next few months I stayed at the farm, helped with daily chores, and learned about these amazing animals.


Long story short, I started Springtime Farms in 2005 with 12 alpacas.


Meredith's Menagerie has grown to 33 alpacas, 7 goats, 6 chickens and 5 dogs, including three guard dogs for the alpacas. Every once in a while a foster dog or cats visits until they find a forever home.


I try to be as self-sustaining as possible. After living off-grid for many years (I loved it), I moved to Salem, OR to be with Mr. Wonderful. I'm back on the grid, but in an area of the country where I can actually grow things! I'm in love with the fresh apples, cherries, blackberries, pears, plums. This year the carrots, peas, beets, and cauliflower were successful. Wait until next year. Fresh milk and eggs grace my table daily.


I've been working with alpaca fiber since day one. It's absolutely incredible. It's softer and warmer than wool. I already knew how to crochet, but had to get it from the animal into yarn. So, I learned to clean, card and spin. A class on needle felting was fabulous. Unfortunately I haven't been able to spend much time on that project.


I got the idea for alpaca shoe inserts from a woman who had been putting lose fiber in her shoes to keep her feet warm. You could almost see the lightbulb above my head...something warm, sturdy, and long-lasting.


Since then, I've seen them for sale twice. Both have been from felted fiber. That's how I started making them, but they didn't hold up very well.


A few tries later, and I realized if I spin the fiber, crochet it, then felt it, the inserts hold up very well.


The yarn for Snuggly Toes has been spun at a small U.S. mill. In fact, it's at another alpaca farm. I then knit the fiber on a knitting machine.br>

Felting something that's been crocheted or knitted is very easy. Throw it in the washing machine on hot three times, and viola, it's felted. (Ever washed a wool sweater by accident? Same thing)


Snuggly Toes are then cut from the fabric.


Springtime Farms is open to visitors. Come see Paco, Fat Patti, Walter and the rest of the gang. You'll get to feed them treats just like I did.

Frequently Asked Questions:


Can Snuggly Toes be washed?

Yes, Snuggly Toes can be washed. The best way is to fill a sink with enough hot water to cover the Snuggly Toes. After the sink is filled (not during), put in a squish of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Let the Snuggly Toes soak for about 20 minutes. Take them gently out of the water and drain the sink. Re-fill the sink with hot water. Once it's full, put the Snuggly Toes back in for a 20 minute rinse cycle. Let air dry.


Alternative: Throw them in the washing machine on cold and let air dry. I have tried this with a few washings, and the Snuggly Toes are holding up. However, I don't guarantee they will last as long as washing them in the sink.


How do I confirm my order?

I will send you an e-mail when your order has been sent. If you have any questions before that, please feel free to e-mail me (Meredith@SnugglyToes.com) or call (719-783-9619). Please call during awake hours, mountain time, as this is my home phone.


How long will Snuggly Toes last?

I used my Snuggly Toes all winter (a long 6 months here) for morning and evening chores. The answer depends a little bit on how often you use them, but planning for one season is reasonable.
Snuggle up with alpaca warmth!

For over a decade Solmate Socks has been designing and knitting stunning mismatched socks, hats, scarves, mittens and fingerless mittens. We have continuously demonstrated a commitment to protecting the environment, the health and safety of our employees, and the businesses and communities where we do business.

The Artist. Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady is the founder and owner of Solmate Socks. The company is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit when she was nine years old. Marianne continued a life long enthusiasm for knitting, but it wasn't until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.

Over the years Marianne knit over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends. She then decided to turn her hobby into a business and in the year 2000 Solmate Socks was born. Her colorful and complex patterns are knit in the USA at a family owned knitting mill, hand finished and then mismatched with care.

The company is run in a small town in central Vermont, where the Socklady is surrounded and inspired by the woods, brook, gardens and hills of the countryside.

Locally Made. We are proud to create a product that is made in the U.S.A. The sock designing, knitting, and finishing final touches are completed at small, family-owned businesses in Vermont, North Carolina, and Oregon.

Eco Friendly. Our socks are knit from the ingenious repurposing of recycled cotton yarn. Using recycled yarns means that Solmate Socks decreases the amount of cotton waste sent to landfills. Our yarns also reduce the amount of water, land use, pesticides and herbicides used to grow new cotton fibers as well as eliminates the need for harmful chemicals to dye virgin cotton yarn.

One of the products Sundace Sheepskin & Leather sells is American Made Hats. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.

For more information about Sundace Sheepskin & Leather and its Made in America products see the following:

Each and every one of our products is handmade by the Anderson family from the finest American materials. The quality and comfort of our products reflects the care that goes into each and every thing that we make. For 38 years we have been designing, wearing, and improving our products with comfort and durability in mind.
The Materials We Use
Although many of our materials are available at a lower cost through overseas suppliers, it is important to us to support and buy from American and local suppliers whenever possible. All of our sheepskins come from cold climate Colorado and New Mexico sheep that have a superior, thicker pile and therefore create a warmer, more comfortable and more durable product. The American techniques and standards for tanning also produce a much higher quality of sheepskin and leather, and conform to strict EPA guidelines that help protect the global environment. Buying from Sundance not only supports us, but local sheep ranchers as well.
Care Instructions
All of our products are washable. We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild soap such as Ivory. They can then be formed and air dried. Waterproof, if desired, with a silicone spray or mink oil.
Our Guarantee
We take much pride in the quality of our work. All our products carry a satisfaction guarantee and a 1 year warranty on materials and workmanship. And after that one year we will always gladly repair our own work for a small fee.
About our business
Sundance Sheepskin and Leather was established as a family business in 1971. Now, 38 years later we pride ourselves in still being a small family owned and operated business. We hand make all of our products in a small workshop out of our home in our small Colorado mountain town of Guffey. Since 1976 we have been marketing our products at judged arts and crafts fairs, as well as running a mail order business. We attend approximately 20 shows annually in a six state region.
Call us for show schedules and information.
Green business practices
The Sundance family is committed to doing what we can to help the environment. We realize that the shoe industry is not the most environmentally friendly industry, but here are a few reasons that buying from Sundance can help make a difference:
*We have eliminated the toluene based adhesives from our product lines and have gone to a natural rubber based glue with stitched on techniques. Healthier for us and for the environment.
*We buy only US materials tanned locally, thus eliminating the huge amounts of oil required to ship materials from China and other parts of the world and reducing the carbon footprint of producing our products.
*The US tanneries that we use are subject to much higher environmental standards than their foreign competitors.
*We re-use cardboard boxes for all of our shipping and recycle anything we can.
*We ship all orders using UPS Carbon Neutral shipping to offset the environmental impacts of shipping.
*All of the Sundance Family lives within walking distance of our workshop!
*Our workshop is a highly efficient, passive solar design with wood heat.
*We are looking into the feasibility of installing an active solar and wind powered electric system to power our workshop - we'll keep you posted on the progress.
*Our retail store in Buena Vista is partially powered by a full PV solar array on our roof - taking advantage of the sunny Colorado days!
*Creating products from sheepskin is using an otherwise wasted byproduct of the wool and lamb industry. Sheep are not raised solely for their skins.
*We are always looking for new ways to improve our practices and reduce our impact on our Mother Earth.
So, put on your warm fuzzy Sundance Sheepskin Slippers and turn down the thermostat!
