Well I have 2 stories to share.
1. It has been a stressful week so I spent my time in front of the wheel. I spun up about 400 yards of this beautiful alpaca/merino and dyed it in fall colors. It’s now up on my Etsy Shop if you’d like it.
2. Don’t read further if you’re a vegetarian.
One reason my week has been stressful is I’ve made the decision to cull one of my boys. He’s been such a snot and beats everyone up until they are bloody and I have to keep him separated which is no good for him mentally. So, this morning we made the trip to a butcher. Bless the hearts of the company I’m using, they asked what his name was, gave him a very nice stall to rest in and enjoyed petting him and giving him a treat. They made me feel very comfortable that he will be treated humanely during the process. So, next week I’ll be picking him back up again but in a totally different form. I guess I better start brushing up on my cooking creativity.
I’ll be spending some extra time with all my alpacas tonight watching them and giving them extra treats to curb my gilt.
